It was around five pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were resting there going over the tennis results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Greenmount and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi lease car. She was very distressed it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I have ruined the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to get to her without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Greater Manchester well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Greater Manchester we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would most likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to handle in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will often result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
