AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hampshire we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In case you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty simply.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
