It was around five pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were seated commenting on the footy rankings, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Westcotes and put petrol in a diesel Renault lease car. She was rather agitated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was living in.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Leicestershire we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of people not knowing the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously take care not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances rather simply.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Leicestershire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.
