It was before 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing there going over the recent sports, prepared for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Wood Hall and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus lease car by mistake. She was quite irritated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, because it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could reach the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Essex well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not knowing how to to make use of (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases pretty simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we can access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Wrong Fuel Drain Wood Hall - Wood Hall Wrong Fuel in Car

I had enjoyed a wonderful day hiking on my day off and was feeling pleased with myself the following working day as I was on the way to help a young couple who were vacationing in Wood Hall. They had pulled over after adding petrol into their SEAT, and the car was around half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smiled as I listened to the woman telling off her partner for actually being so daft. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this problem goes on continuously in Essex and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, but he all the same got his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I did the very same thing... I would never live it down!
