It was just before five pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting there commenting on the recent sports, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Barnoldswick and put the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW rental. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly.

AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we have noticed progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And obviously don't turn over the engine - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank is likely to lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances quite expediently.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Have an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Lancashire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.
