AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Richmond upon Thames we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will often produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty quickly.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We can get out to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home.
