It was after six pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were relaxing going over the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the seventh job that day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Sudbury and put petrol in her diesel Nissan rental car in error. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, also that these things sadly can happen.

Our Areas of Expertise:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Suffolk we are finding an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to people not knowing how to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to start the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol may well result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Suffolk to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.
