It was just after 7 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were relaxing talking about the recent golf results, at the ready for the 6th call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Stratford-upon-Avon and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda rental car in error. The poor thing was pretty agitated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the car into a secure space and, as it was just a short distance from the office, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the motel she was staying in.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Warwickshire we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most definitely never crank the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can easily bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations quite simply.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container laying at the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Warwickshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Stratford-upon-Avon (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.
