It was about 10 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's tennis, ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Berghers Hill and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen hire car. The poor thing was quite distressed apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things sadly do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe area and, as it was only a few miles from us, we could arrive at her without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away contented and less concerned. Yet another job in Buckinghamshire well done in my mind!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Buckinghamshire we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. If perhaps you have started the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important matter to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations rather easily.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container lying in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.
