It was just after 9 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Little Brington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Volkswagen rental car. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this often happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe area and, as it was only a short distance from us, we could arrive at the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Northamptonshire we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not knowing how to to make use of (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely take care not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important situation to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations quite expediently.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Have an old fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Northamptonshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Little Brington (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Northamptonshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home.
