It was before six pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Brixham and put petrol in her diesel MG hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the car into a protected spot and, because it was just a few miles from us, we could arrive at the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Devon done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Devon we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the specialised skills and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can potentially trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases fairly quickly.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Have an old fuel tank laying in the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Devon for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.
