AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Richmond upon Thames we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not being aware of the way to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly never crank the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is going to cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases rather swiftly.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
