It was close to 6 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were seated discussing the rugby rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Stainforth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mitsubishi rental. The poor lady was quite agitated it seemed, crying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in South Yorkshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around South Yorkshire we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not knowing how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
