Dan and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's football, waiting for the 6th job to arrive. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Coggeshall and filled petrol in her diesel BMW rental by mistake. She was fairly distressed it seemed, stating "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was running a diesel!"

We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we are finding a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of people being unsure of how to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never crank the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations very simply.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Essex to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.
