It was just before seven pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Ray and I were sitting there commenting on the recent footy, waiting for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we got the call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Bar Hill and filled petrol in a diesel Renault rental car by mistake. She was pretty agitated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and not so stressed. Another misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Staffordshire we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely do not start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In case you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol may bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases quite easily.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Staffordshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

We're able to come to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.
