It was just after seven pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's sports, waiting for the next fuel drain to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in West Kilbride and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was very affected it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less stressed.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over North Ayrshire we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And most certainly be careful not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty swiftly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
