It was about ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated going over the recent football results, ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Eckington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes rental car in error. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and less stressed.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Worcestershire we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can certainly lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Worcestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages.
