It was about eight pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! Dan and I were relaxing there talking about the recent golf results, at the ready for the next telephone call to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Bow Common and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot hire car in error. She was rather troubled it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few miles from us, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Tower Hamlets well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Tower Hamlets we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And definitely don't crank the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will often lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
