Our Areas of Competence :

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Croydon we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can easily produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases very quickly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
