AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Barnet we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely never crank the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank is going to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations very simply.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
