It was about eight pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing commenting on the football rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Eastcote and put petrol in her diesel Nissan lease car in error. The poor thing was very affected it seemed, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could find the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around West Midlands we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly due to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And of course don't start up the engine - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances fairly easily.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in West Midlands to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Wrong Fuel Assist Eastcote - Eastcote Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a great day hiking during my afternoon off and felt pleased with myself the following day as I was en route to aid a young family away in Eastcote. They conked out after putting petrol into their Mazda, and the car was approximately an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for being so stupid. "Just how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this takes place on daily basis in West Midlands and that it is nothing to be concerned about, however he yet still got an earful by his wife. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I made the exact same mistake... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
