It was after eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were sitting there talking about the tennis rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in West Heath and put petrol in her diesel Skoda lease car by mistake. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could reach her swiftly.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Birmingham we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely do not crank the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to handle in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will likely trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances pretty simply.

You should know that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking spot we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Birmingham to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel West Heath - West Heath Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a terrific day cycling during my day off and felt satisfied with myself the next morning as I was on the way to help a new family holidaying in West Heath. They'd broken down after filling diesel into their Lexus, and were around half an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the gal telling her husband off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass on daily basis in Birmingham and that it's really nothing to be concerned about, even so he yet still got his ear bent. Poor boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I would never live it down!
