It was after 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were seated there commenting on the tennis, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Park Hill and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen rental car in error. The poor thing was very irritated apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, because it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at.

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your car? We can fix any associated problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Merseyside we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists being unsure of how to work with it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely do not switch on the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to address in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations pretty easily.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Merseyside to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.
