It was before eight pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated there talking over the rugby, waiting around for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Donnington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen hire car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Berkshire we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people not understanding how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank may produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
