AdBlue Contamination

All over Inverclyde we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not knowing the way to work with it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't crank the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is going to result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations quite expediently.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Inverclyde for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

They are also able to handle any of the common problems which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
