AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Bexley we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will often cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Fuel Removal Falconwood - Falconwood Petrol in Diesel

I had a wonderful day cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a young couple who were on vacation in Falconwood. They conked out after filling the wrong fuel into their Volvo, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for actually being so daft. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this situation happens continuously in Bexley and that it's truly nothing to be concerned about, and yet he still got an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I drained all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd never live it down!
