It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated commenting on the recent tennis, waiting for the seventh call to come in. Before long we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Bran End and put petrol in a diesel Smart rental car by mistake. The poor thing was rather affected apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman right away.

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Essex we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely do not start up the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank may lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances rather easily.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Essex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.
