AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Highland we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will likely cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases fairly simply.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Highland to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages.
