It was about ten pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and me were resting going over the sports rankings, waiting for the seventh call that day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Lawton and put petrol in her diesel Vauxhall lease car in error. The poor thing was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure area and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Herefordshire done well in my opinion!

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.
AdBlue In Diesel
All around Herefordshire we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.
Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into 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. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.
Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And of course do not start up the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations quite expediently.
You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel.

A driver from Lawton with her kids in her diesel BMW had put £40 of petrol at the Tesco station. She phoned us crying and extremely upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and did not know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that everything should be ok and that she would be back ready to go soon. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the youngsters on board."
