It was around 7 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry day, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were seated there going over the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Ashopton and put petrol in her diesel Mercedes rental in error. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this happen. She managed to get the car into a secure position and, since it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the customer right away. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and less anxious.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Derbyshire we have noticed more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly don't start up the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank in the back of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Derbyshire to take care of taking away 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. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we can empty it.

We're able to get out to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home.
