It was just after ten pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated discussing the recent football, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Stanton St Bernard and filled petrol in a diesel Fiat hire car in error. The poor thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, as it was just a few minutes away from us, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Wiltshire we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly don't turn over the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will likely lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we can empty it.
