AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cornwall we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it immediately. And most definitely don't turn over the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will likely trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations pretty quickly.

You should know that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
