It was about 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting there commenting on the footy rankings, waiting around for the sixth job to arrive. Finally we received a call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Brightwalton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MG hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately can happen.

AdBlue Contamination

In Berkshire we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not being aware of how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely do not start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can easily lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to several private and business properties in Berkshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Petrol in Diesel Brightwalton - Brightwalton Wrong Fuel

I'd had a fantastic afternoon golfing during my holiday and was feeling delighted the next morning as I was on the way to help a young family on vacation in Brightwalton. They stopped after filling diesel in their Ford, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling her man off for actually being so foolish. "How could you conceivably be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this situation comes to pass constantly in Berkshire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, however he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I did the same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
