It was close to ten pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were resting commenting on the weekend's golf results, prepared for the 8th job that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in The Lakes and put petrol in her diesel Ford rental. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. A misfuel correction in Worcestershire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Worcestershire we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Any time you find yourself in this situation don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts have the technical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have a fuel tank in the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Worcestershire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Fuel Rescue The Lakes - The Lakes Wrong Fuel

Yesterday a youngster telephoned us because his SEAT died in the middle of a street in The Lakes. He had by accident put unleaded in his diesel motor and got as far as the road before needing to pull up. It was actually early in the day and our technician, who lives not far away, got to him in about twenty minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your immediate response, particularly at 4 a.m., I appreciate it."
