It was before 8 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were seated there talking over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the sixth call to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Ashmansworth and put petrol in her diesel Smart rental in error. The poor thing was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, as it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could return to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off calm and less concerned.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hampshire we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases pretty swiftly.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
