It was just before five pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing there discussing the recent football, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Keckwick and filled petrol in a diesel Audi rental car in error. She was fairly affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!"

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cheshire we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not understanding how to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely do not start the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can certainly produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations pretty swiftly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Cheshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.
