AdBlue In your Fuel

In Northamptonshire we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water 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 incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations pretty simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
