It was around 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated there commenting on the tennis rankings, prepared for the sixth job to arrive. Before long we had a call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Blackheath and filled petrol in her diesel Hyundai lease car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could get to the customer right away. The bad fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Essex done well in my mind!

Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of people being unsure of how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And absolutely never start the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In case you have started the car you may most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases very swiftly.

You should know that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains
