AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around East Lothian we have seen increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you get in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts have the practical competence and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations quite expediently.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying at the back of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in East Lothian to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Haddington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete East Lothian Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill the car. They will deal with the usual problems which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
