AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Highland we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely do not start up the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can certainly trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations very expediently.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Highland for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Thurso (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Highland Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill the car. They will deal with the typical problems that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.
