It was after 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were sitting talking over the football rankings, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Leaden Roding and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather affected apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance from where we were, we could reach the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Essex well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Essex we have found more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And of course do not start the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can easily bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations quite easily.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
