AdBlue Contamination

All around East Lothian we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people not understanding how to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most definitely do not crank the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will likely result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out.

We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
