It was close to seven pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated talking about the recent footy, at the ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Leckhampstead and filled petrol in a diesel Land Rover rental. The poor lady was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was only a few miles from our van, we could arrive at her swiftly.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Berkshire we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking spot. If you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Have a fuel container sitting at the rear of your premises with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Berkshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car Leckhampstead - Leckhampstead Fuel Drain

I had appreciated a terrific evening cycling on my holiday and was feeling cheerful the next working day as I headed out to assist a new family who were holidaying in Leckhampstead. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel into their Volkswagen, and they were about half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling off her hubby for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this problem occurs on a regular basis in Berkshire and that it is nothing at all to stress about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I extracted all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted goodbye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally never ever live it down!
