It was just after 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent sports rankings, ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Oddingley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault hire car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and much less concerned.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Worcestershire we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If you did start the car you may most likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases fairly easily.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Worcestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Petrol in Diesel Oddingley - Oddingley Wrong Fuel

I had a wonderful evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I set out to aid a new couple who were away in Oddingley. They had pulled over after filling diesel into their Mazda, and were close to an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself as I heard to the wife telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this situation occurs continuously in Worcestershire and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, nonetheless he yet still got his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I drained all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. As they drove down the road I waved farewell and thought about what her indoors would ask me if I made the same blunder... I would personally never ever live it down!
