It was before five pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing commenting on the weekend's footy, prepared for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Chadwell End and put petrol in a diesel Lexus rental in error. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this can happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could get to the woman right away. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Bedfordshire done well in my opinion!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Bedfordshire we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely do not crank the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. If you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Bedfordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.
