It was close to 9 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent sports, prepared for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Wacton and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen rental car in error. She was fairly irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from our van, we could find the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and less anxious.

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Herefordshire we have discovered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not being aware of how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations pretty expediently.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Herefordshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Wacton - Wacton Wrong Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a fantastic day fishing during my off day and felt pleased with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a young family who were vacationing in Wacton. They broken down after adding petrol in their MG, and were roughly an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and laughed as I heard to the wife telling her partner off for being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this problem occurs continuously in Herefordshire and that it is nothing at all to stress about, nevertheless he yet still had his ear bent. Unlucky chap. In any case, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
