It was just before eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing going over the rugby, ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Winnington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and much less worried. One more fuel drain in Cheshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Cheshire we have found a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank may bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances quite easily.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Fuel Rescue Winnington - Winnington Petrol in Diesel

A man had stopped off a road in Winnington. His Dacia motor had stopped operating and he had no clue what was wrong right up until he noticed he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got zero sleep the day before and that must have been the key reason why.
