A guy broken down on a road in Exeter needed a fuel drain about a few weeks ago. His Volvo was stuck on the side of the road after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he phoned us but slightly worried to move his car from the road seeing that he was triggering some congestion. We were on scene in a quarter-hour because our drainer was in neighbouring Exeter and had just completed his previous job. He said, "I do not believe I put petrol in my diesel car and broke down here! My car was not running well I simply were forced to stop and subsequently it cut out."

AdBlue Contamination

All over Devon we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people not understanding the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel will likely trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances quite swiftly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Devon to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

We can get out to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home.
