It was around six pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting talking about the golf, prepared for the seventh call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Preston and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI rental by mistake. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car into a protected position and, since it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to find the woman swiftly.

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Brent we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not understanding how to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And certainly never start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations very expediently.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Brent for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Preston (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Brent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and refill your automobile. They can also fix the most common issues that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Preston - Preston Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman had stopped just near a road in Preston. His Renault car had stopped working and he had no clue what was wrong until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can't believe that I didn't know that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got virtually no rest the evening before and that could have been the key reason why.
