It was about seven pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and me were sitting talking over the rugby results, ready for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Before long we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Charnes and put petrol in her diesel Citroen rental car in error. She was fairly distressed it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing at.

Our Fields of Expertise:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Staffordshire we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of people not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may well lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases very swiftly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel.
