Wrong Fuel in Car the UK

Our Areas of Expertise:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And absolutely never switch on the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is going to lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases rather simply.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed at the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in the UK (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and fill your automobile. They will take care of the most common troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in the UK

Some stories:

A teenager who had only just passed his test had misfueled his Dacia by putting petrol in his diesel at the petrol station close to the UK. He said, "This is only the third time I have filled up my vehicle from the time when I purchased it and I do not know what to do." He was worried since his step father had just got him the car. He discovered us on the net and so called us instantly, scared about what he should do. Our person on the call told him that we would be with him in forty five minutes and to not move the vehicle while waiting. We finished the fuel drain on his car and he said how surprised he was that it was taken care of so rapidly and no complication whatsoever.

Petrol in Diesel the UK - the UK Fuel Removal

A customer who had sadly put unleaded in his diesel Dacia phoned us for help at the Texaco petrol station in the UK. He had decided to fill up before going on to the local caravan park . "I put unleaded instead of diesel which probably wasn't a smart way to begin to our getaway." It was certainly no trouble in the least for our engineer to go and do the fuel drain. We hope they had a good vacation.
