It was about six pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated there going over the rugby results, prepared for the 8th call of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Bowers Gifford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel red BMW Z8 hire car by mistake. The poor thing was quite agitated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and less worried. A fuel drain in Essex well done in my opinion!

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Essex we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to drivers not knowing the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And of course take care not to crank the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.
