It was close to 7 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated there discussing the rugby, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Shatton and put petrol in her diesel Nissan lease car. The poor thing was somewhat affected it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things can happen. She was able to get the car to a safe spot and, as it was just a few miles from us, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and much less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Derbyshire we have encountered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And of course take care not to crank the engine - not even to move it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you will probably need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances quite expediently.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Derbyshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Petrol in Diesel Shatton - Shatton Fuel Removal

I had a fantastic evening cycling during my day off and felt contented the following working day as I was on the way to help a new couple who were away in Shatton. They pulled over after putting petrol into their BMW, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and laughed as I listened to the girl telling her husband off for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in Derbyshire and that it's truly nothing to fret about, nevertheless he yet still had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching as they drove off I mouthed farewell and thought about what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally never live it down!
