It was just after 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were seated there commenting on the recent tennis results, waiting for the next job to come in. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Penn Street and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental in error. The poor lady was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away contented and less anxious. A job in Buckinghamshire well done in my mind!

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Buckinghamshire we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at once. And most certainly never start the car - not even to move it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations quite swiftly.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, providing we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.
