It was around 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were resting discussing the rugby rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Kineton and filled petrol in a diesel BMW rental in error. She was fairly irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to find her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Warwickshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Warwickshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people being unsure of the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And of course do not turn over the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel is going to lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations very simply.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Warwickshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it.
