It was before eight pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry day, it had not ceased raining! Brian and I were seated commenting on the recent golf, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Kerry Hill and filled petrol in her diesel Ford rental car by mistake. She was quite distressed apparently, saying "I can not believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could get to her without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less worried. Another fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Staffordshire we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people not understanding the right way to to make use of (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the car you will probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to take care of in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases rather quickly.

Remember though that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

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 certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Staffordshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.
