Dan and me were seated talking over the recent football results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain to arrive.

The poor thing was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things happen.

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in case you have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made out of a mix of high-purity deionized water (67.5%) and urea.Adblue is actually harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be injected into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, leading to serious and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course never start up the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If you did start the car you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Hampshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages.
