It was close to five pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the sports rankings, prepared for the 6th job of the day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in West Wycombe and put petrol in her diesel SEAT rental car in error. The poor lady was rather affected it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find her right away. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. One more job in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Buckinghamshire we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to move it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances very easily.

Take note that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Have an old fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Buckinghamshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.
