It was about 5 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the sixth job that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Coleshill and put petrol in a diesel Dacia lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from the office, we could reach the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and less anxious. A misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Buckinghamshire we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is likely to lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
