It was before eight pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Chatford and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet hire car by mistake. The poor lady was quite agitated apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from us, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly.

Our Areas of Competency :

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we are encountering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people not being aware of the right way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And definitely do not crank the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank is going to cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations very easily.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Shropshire to deal with removing 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 container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.
