AdBlue In Diesel

All around North Yorkshire we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never start the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances very easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in North Yorkshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages.
