It was close to 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting talking over the recent footy rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Llandudno Junction and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi hire car. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living in.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Conwy we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not understanding how to work with it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And most definitely never start up the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances very quickly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Conwy to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.
