AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And obviously take care not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances rather simply.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel container at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Faversham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to refill the car. They will be able to handle any of the most common issues which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
