It was after 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the sixth call of the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Compton Abdale and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault rental car in error. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure position and, since it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could find her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and less worried. Yet another job in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Gloucestershire we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't start the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may well lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases very easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Got an old fuel container sitting at the back of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Gloucestershire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a shed, if we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Wrong Fuel Assist Compton Abdale - Compton Abdale Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had appreciated a wonderful day hiking during the weekend and felt pleased the following morning as I headed out to aid a young couple on vacation in Compton Abdale. They broken down after inserting petrol into their MINI, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the lady telling off her man for turning out to be so daft. "How could you conceivably be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this happens frequently in Gloucestershire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he still had an earful. Poor guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and wondered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
