It was after 8 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting discussing the recent golf, prepared for the 6th job to arrive. Before long we received the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Kenchester and filled petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi lease car in error. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Herefordshire done well in my opinion!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Herefordshire we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the automobile.
Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.
If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly be careful not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations quite swiftly.
Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.

Recent Fuel Drains in Kenchester
Stories from our Kenchester employees:
I am not actually very excited about carrying out work Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd just left the family following a lovely lunch prepared by the wife, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow after he had put the incorrect fuel in his Mazda. He was only in Kenchester and so it wasn't long before I got to him. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my mind on other considerations and didn't perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused any kind of damage through running it?" I determined that generally there should not be problems and that also I would get the contaminated fuel drained right away. Obviously I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then yet another content customer had the ability to continue their ride with no fuss. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and this is exactly what helps make carrying out work on weekends in Herefordshire just that small bit better for me!
