AdBlue In your Fuel

In Cumbria we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially due to people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly do not start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances pretty easily.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
