It was around ten pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting talking about the recent tennis, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in North Cheriton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault lease car in error. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from us, we could arrive at the woman without delay.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not knowing how to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And certainly do not start up the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel will often lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases fairly expediently.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to many private and business properties in Somerset to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.
