It was about five pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were relaxing there going over the rugby rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Draycot and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda hire car. She was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from the office, we could get to the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and much less worried. One more misfuel correction in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Oxfordshire we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not being aware of how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will likely trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations rather easily.

Remember that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Wrong Fuel Drain Draycot - Draycot Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman called us from his house on a close in Draycot. He pronounced, "My car (a Chevrolet) is not starting up and is producing very bad noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be certain to explain to people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.
