It was close to 10 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were seated there talking about the weekend's golf, waiting for the next job to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol station in The Wells and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen hire car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from the office, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Richmond upon Thames we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is likely to cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in Richmond upon Thames to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.
