It was just before ten pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the football results, at the ready for the next telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Barningham and filled petrol in her diesel Volvo rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected space and, because it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach her quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in County Durham well done in my opinion!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in case you may have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that?s made from a mix of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%).It is definitely disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be squirted into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, triggering disastrous and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking bay. If you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will often result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases very expediently.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
