Wrong Fuel in Car Shortstown - Shortstown Wrong Fuel Doctor
Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and I was on my way to assist an older lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover in Shortstown. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a backwater lane on route to see her godchildren. I popped her location straight into the TomTom and was with her within an hour or so. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd only just purchased it a couple of days back right after my former one, which I used for over twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a delightful Bedfordshire lady!

It was before eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting talking over the football rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Shortstown and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda rental in error. She was rather irritated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to find the lady rather quickly.

AdBlue Contamination
All over Bedfordshire we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.
Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.
If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to turn over the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to deal with in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations very quickly.
Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Petrol in Diesel Shortstown - Shortstown Wrong Fuel Doctor
I enjoyed a great evening cycling during my afternoon off and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I set out to assist a young couple vacationing in Shortstown. They had conked out after inserting petrol into their Citroen, and they were around an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled while I listened to the lady telling off her hubby for turning out to be so daft. "How could you possibly find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this problem happens everyday in Bedfordshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to fret about, but he all the same got an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive off I waved so long and wondered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Vehicle Misfuel Shortstown - Shortstown Vehicle Misfuel
A woman from Shortstown with a full car of little ones in her diesel Mercedes had put £30 of petrol at the filling station. She contacted us crying and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and did not know what could happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that everything would be alright and that she would be ready to go soon. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the little ones in the back."
