It was close to 6 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and me were resting discussing the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the sixth call for the day to come in. Before long we got the call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Howbeck Bank and put petrol in a diesel MG hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and less worried. Another misfuel correction in Cheshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Cheshire we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances rather simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
