AdBlue Contamination
All over East Lothian we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not understanding the way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.
Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.
Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances rather simply.
Take note though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains

We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
