It was before 9 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing talking over the recent football, at the ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Upper Leigh and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Chevrolet rental. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could get to her rather quickly.

Do you or your employees often misfuel your car? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Staffordshire we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And most certainly take care not to turn over the engine - not even to move it off the pump. If you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases very simply.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking spot we are able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Staffordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.
