It was just after eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were seated there talking over the football results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Carlisle and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Porsche hire car. She was rather troubled it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and less anxious. A misfuel correction in Cumbria done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cumbria we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not knowing how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can handle all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Cumbria to take care of removing 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. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.
