Fuel Drain High Throston - High Throston Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a perfect day hiking on the weekend and felt delighted the next day as I headed out to assist a new couple on holiday in High Throston. They'd pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their Volkswagen, and were about an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife berating her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you even find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this happens everyday in County Durham and that it's nothing to stress about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. As they drove off I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around County Durham we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases pretty expediently.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
