It was after seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were sitting discussing the weekend's footy, ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Daylesford and filled petrol in a diesel Chevrolet lease car. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this can happen. She was able to get the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and much less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Gloucestershire we have encountered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And absolutely never start the car - not even to move it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to deal with in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car Daylesford - Daylesford Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a fantastic evening cycling during my holiday and felt delighted the next morning as I headed out to aid a young couple who were away in Daylesford. They had pulled over after filling petrol into their Peugeot, and they were approximately half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled as I heard to the gal telling off her spouse for being so confused. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this happens on daily basis in Gloucestershire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to stress about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Poor lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I waved good bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I made the same mistake... I'd personally never ever live it down!
