It was around ten pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Little Swinburne and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW hire car. She was pretty affected it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. One more fuel drain in Northumberland well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Northumberland we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers being unsure of how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely never switch on the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will likely produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations rather easily.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Northumberland for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Vehicle Misfuel Little Swinburne - Little Swinburne Petrol in Diesel

A couple weeks ago a youngster phoned us when his Audi stopped along a road in Little Swinburne. He had by mistake put the incorrect fuel in the diesel car and drove so far as the street before being forced to pull up. It was actually early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who lives locally, got to him in about fifteen minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your immediate response, especially at 1 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
