It was about 6 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there talking about the weekend's rugby, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Bradgate and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly do happen.

Listed here are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around South Yorkshire we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not switch on the motor - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances very swiftly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Fuel Drain Bradgate - Bradgate Fuel Drain

I had a great afternoon golfing during my afternoon off and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I headed out to aid a new couple on vacation in Bradgate. They had broken down after inserting diesel into their Kia, and were roughly half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the wife chastising her partner for being so stupid. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this happens quite frequently in South Yorkshire and that it is nothing to stress about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an earful by his wife. Poor boy. Anyway, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. As they drove away I mouthed good-bye and considered what my wife would do to me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would never ever live it down!
