It was before 5 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were relaxing there going over the recent golf results, ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Old Ford and filled petrol in her diesel SEAT rental car. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that such things do happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from us, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Kingston upon Thames well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Kingston upon Thames we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not being totally sure how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you get in this scenario don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the practical expertise and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
