It was just after eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were relaxing there talking about the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the next fuel drain to come in. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Tickencote and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen rental car. The unfortunate thing was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected area and, as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and not so worried. One more misfuel correction in Rutland done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Rutland we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will often cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to many private and business premises in Rutland to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, as long as we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.
