AdBlue In your Fuel

In North Lanarkshire we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will often lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in North Lanarkshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Shotts (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full North Lanarkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They can also deal with the standard issues that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
