It was about 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated there commenting on the golf rankings, ready for the next call to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Woodgate and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda rental. The unfortunate thing was fairly troubled apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Worcestershire done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Worcestershire we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly never switch on the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can easily result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances rather expediently.

You should know that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Worcestershire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Woodgate (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car or truck. They can also fix any of the most common problems that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Woodgate - Woodgate Wrong Fuel Drain

A man phoned us from his home on a close in Woodgate. He said, "My vehicle (a Skoda) is not running and is creating terrible noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He said that he'd be sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
