AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Essex we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Any time you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the practical skills and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank will cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.
