AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not knowing the way to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely do not switch on the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases quite easily.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
