It was around 8 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were seated there going over the recent footy, prepared for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Upton and put petrol in her diesel Vauxhall lease car. She was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things sadly do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was only a short distance from us, we could get to the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Northamptonshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Northamptonshire we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the car.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases pretty simply.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
