It was before 10 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Seething Wells and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty troubled apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, also that these things regrettably happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing that it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Kingston upon Thames well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in the event that you?ve poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution that?s made of a mixture of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water.Adblue is definitely devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically in cases where you run the engine with Adblue in your tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously do not turn over the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel may cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases quite swiftly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
