It was before 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the footy, at the ready for the next fuel drain to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Ogbourne St Andrew and filled petrol in her diesel Smart hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things often happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe position and, since it was only a short distance off from the office, we could get to the woman quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. A job in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Wiltshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely never switch on the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases rather easily.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Wiltshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.
