It was before ten pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting there going over the recent football results, ready for the seventh call that day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Whiteknights and put petrol in her diesel Smart hire car in error. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at.

Below are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Berkshire we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of people not understanding the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And most definitely never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations quite expediently.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Fuel Drain Whiteknights - Whiteknights Fuel Rescue

I had enjoyed a terrific afternoon cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I set off to assist a new couple who were on vacation in Whiteknights. They'd pulled over after putting petrol in their Kia, and were around half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and laughed while I listened to the lady telling off her spouse for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Berkshire and that it is nothing to stress about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful by his wife. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I drained all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally never live it down!
