It was close to 9 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining!

Eventually we got the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Ashted and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda lease car in error. The poor thing was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle!

Services Our Company Offers:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Birmingham we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being aware of how to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely never crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel will often trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations very easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Birmingham for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.
