It was about 6 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's footy, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Chepstow and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai rental car in error. The poor thing was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and not so worried. Another job in Monmouthshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Monmouthshire we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And definitely never start up the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
