It was around six pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the sixth job that day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Oakwood and put petrol in a diesel Honda lease car. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from our van, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Enfield done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Enfield we are discovering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And obviously never turn over the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases very swiftly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying in the back of your premises full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Enfield to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Oakwood (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Enfield Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the normal problems which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Oakwood - Oakwood Petrol in Diesel

A man had stopped off a road in Oakwood. His Kia motor had stopped operating and he had no idea what was wrong right up until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not realise that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten no sleep the evening before and that could have been precisely why.
