It was around six pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing commenting on the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Stockton and put petrol in a diesel Skoda lease car in error. She was rather agitated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things can happen.

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can fix any related issues.

AdBlue Contamination

In Shropshire we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't turn over the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases pretty simply.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Shropshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Wrong Fuel Assist Stockton - Stockton Petrol in Diesel

I had a perfect evening hiking during the weekend and felt contented the next working day as I set out to help a young family holidaying in Stockton. They had conked out after inserting petrol into their Vauxhall, and they were around half an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl telling her partner off for actually being so stupid. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this situation takes place quite frequently in Shropshire and that it's really nothing to worry about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. Poor boy. In any case, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would never ever hear the end of it!
