It was after 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were seated discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Cold Newton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi rental. The poor lady was quite agitated it seemed, crying "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Leicestershire done well in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Leicestershire we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Take note that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
