It was around eight pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were seated commenting on the weekend's footy, ready for the 8th job to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Hunts Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few miles from our van, we could reach the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Berkshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Berkshire we have seen a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not understanding the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course never switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank may well cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking spot we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
