It was just before 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were relaxing there going over the rugby rankings, waiting for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Botloes Green and put petrol in a diesel navy blue Citron DS3 rental car. She was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe area and, since it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could find her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Gloucestershire we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not start up the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.
