It was around eight pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting there going over the football results, waiting for the sixth call for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Wimbledon and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot rental. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to find her swiftly.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Merton we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances quite easily.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Merton for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.
