It was just after ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated going over the footy results, ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Bovington Camp and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo rental in error. She was rather troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Dorset done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Dorset we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most definitely never crank the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you may very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
