It was just before seven pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and me were seated there going over the rugby, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Doddington and filled petrol in her diesel Suzuki rental car in error. The poor lady was very agitated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe area and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find the lady quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Shropshire we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course do not crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can potentially result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
