It was close to 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking over the sports rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Mile Cross and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Dacia hire car in error. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and less stressed. Another fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Norfolk we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will likely produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases pretty easily.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of the garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Norfolk to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we are able to drain it.
