AdBlue In your Fuel

In Dumfries and Galloway we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not understanding how to to make use of (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly don't crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in Dumfries and Galloway to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Gretna - Gretna Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a fantastic day cycling on the weekend and was feeling contented the following working day as I headed out to help a young couple who were vacationing in Gretna. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their Skoda, and were about half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady telling her husband off for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this situation happens all the time in Dumfries and Galloway and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, but he all the same got his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the same error... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

We performed a wrong fuel retrieval job on the drive of a spectacular house in Gretna recently. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and managed to nearly arrive at home when my car stopped."

A man contacted us from his Volkswagen after he had ground to a halt on the busy road. "I foolishly put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and I ultimately realised it a number of miles along the road!" Thankfully we were able to attend him in a fairly short time, taking into account the traffic, and he was soon back behind the wheel.

Petrol in Diesel Gretna - Gretna Fuel Removal

A gentleman phoned us from Gretna saying he had unfortunately piped unleaded into his diesel Mitsubishi. "Shocking! How could I put petrol in my diesel car!" It only took the fuel drainer approximately fifty minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel from the vehicle. He completely flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was happy and it hadn't cost him dealership prices to have the task properly completed.
