It was about seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the seventh call of the day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Lowthorpe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford lease car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and less worried.

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around East Riding of Yorkshire we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel will result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Fuel Removal Lowthorpe - Lowthorpe Wrong Fuel

I'd had a terrific evening hiking on my holiday and felt cheerful the next working day as I was en route to assist a young couple away in Lowthorpe. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel into their Smart, and the car was close to an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife chastising her partner for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this takes place on daily basis in East Riding of Yorkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, but he still had an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
