It was just before eight pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the tennis rankings, prepared for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Balsall Heath and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mitsubishi hire car in error. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could reach her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Birmingham well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Birmingham we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not knowing the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously don't start the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Birmingham to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.
