Before long we got a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Redland and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault rental by mistake. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in case you have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid composed of a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%).Adblue is certainly harmful to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, triggering devastating and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And most certainly don't switch on the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations pretty quickly.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Petrol in Diesel Redland - Redland Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had enjoyed a perfect day golfing during my afternoon off and felt delighted the next morning as I headed out to assist a new family who were away in Redland. They pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their Volkswagen, and they were roughly half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smirked while I heard to the woman telling her husband off for being so silly. "How could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this situation goes on constantly in Bristol and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, even so he still had an earful by his better half. Poor guy. Anyways, I drained the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove away I waved goodbye and wondered what my missus would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
