AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Worcestershire we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to people being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is going to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases very swiftly.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Worcestershire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Hanley Castle (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the standard issues which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

I'm not so keen on working on weekends, and last week was the same. I'd only just departed the family after having a superb dinner cooked for us by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a fellow because he put the incorrect petrol in his Mazda. He was located in Hanley Castle so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I drove up behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my thoughts on something else and didn't realise I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on harm as a result of driving it?" I revealed truth be told there shouldn't be any damage and also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. It goes without saying that I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with the suitable fuel, and yet another pleased motorist could continue his ride without the bother. The guy couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what helps make working on weekends in Worcestershire just that small bit easier for me!

Wrong Fuel Assist Hanley Castle - Hanley Castle Wrong Fuel Assist

A woman from Hanley Castle with her kids in her diesel Dacia had put £30 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what could happen to her car because of it. We told her that the car would be okay and that she would be back ready to go soon. When we got there she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the little ones on board."
