It was around 8 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were resting there talking about the recent football rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call to arrive. In due time we received the call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Newbridge Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental car in error. The poor lady was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure position and, as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to get to the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and much less concerned. A job in Worcestershire well done in my mind!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Worcestershire we have found a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people being unsure of how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously never crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In case you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel can certainly lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances quite simply.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Worcestershire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a garage, as long as we can access it, we can drain it for you.
