AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Fife we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not knowing how to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances rather simply.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
