It was after 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated there talking over the sports, waiting for the next call that day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Oxlease and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi lease car by mistake. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things sadly can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to get to the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Hertfordshire done well in my opinion!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Hertfordshire we have identified an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will often contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty simply.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying at the back of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Hertfordshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Fuel Removal Oxlease - Oxlease Vehicle Misfuel

I had a wonderful evening cycling on my off day and felt satisfied with myself the next morning as I set off to help a young couple who were on holiday in Oxlease. They had broken down after adding diesel into their Porsche, and were about an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smirked as I listened to the lady telling off her man for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you actually manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass regularly in Hertfordshire and that it's really nothing at all to fret about, nevertheless he yet still got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted so long and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
