Ray and me were relaxing going over the weekend's football results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Wellington Heath and put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental car by mistake. The poor lady was quite troubled apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!"

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Herefordshire we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people being unsure of how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely never start up the car - not even to move it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will often result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances rather simply.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Fuel Rescue Wellington Heath - Wellington Heath Petrol in Diesel

I had enjoyed a perfect day cycling on my day off and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I set off to aid a new family vacationing in Wellington Heath. They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their Jaguar, and they were around an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife chastising her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this problem takes place on a regular basis in Herefordshire and that it is nothing to stress about, nevertheless he yet still got his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky guy. In any case, I drained all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed goodbye and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the very same error... I would never ever live it down!
