It was just after 10 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's golf, waiting for the next job that day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Oakengates and put petrol in her diesel Hyundai rental car. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could find her quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and much less concerned. One more fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never turn over the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to handle in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel may well lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances quite easily.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking spot we can gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Shropshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it.
