It was before five pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and me were relaxing there commenting on the football rankings, waiting around for the 6th job that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Cubley Common and filled petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi rental. She was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to get to her right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was living in. Although we got really wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and much less apprehensive.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Derbyshire we have noticed a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly do not turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is going to cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations rather simply.

Remember that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Derbyshire to deal with removing and disposing of 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 mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten zero rest the day before and that could have been precisely why.
