Wrong Fuel Doctor Bretherton - Bretherton Wrong Fuel in Car
Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and I was on my way to assist an old woman who put petrol in her diesel Fiat in Bretherton. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station and pulled up along a country lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I got to the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she told me, "I am becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I'd just acquired it a couple of days ago after my previous car, which I used for more than thirty years, eventually died". I completed the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Lancashire woman!

Paul and I were resting there talking about the recent rugby, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Bretherton and filled petrol in her diesel MINI hire car by mistake. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly do happen.

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.
AdBlue In Diesel
In Lancashire we have identified increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the car.
So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely don't start the car - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can easily produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances very quickly.
Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Got an old fuel tank lying in the back of the garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Lancashire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Petrol in Diesel Bretherton - Bretherton Fuel Removal
A man had stopped off a street in Bretherton. His Mercedes motor had ceased running and he had no idea what was faulty till he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car.

Recent Fuel Drains in Bretherton
A few of the standard troubles we have heard from our employees in Bretherton:
I am not ever excessively hot for carrying out work weekends, and a while back was the same. I'd just come away from the wife and kids after eating a wonderful Sunday roast made for us by the missus, and I was en route to deal with a guy who had filled the wrong fuel in his Mitsubishi. He was stationed in Bretherton so it wouldn't be long before I reached him. As I arrived at the rear of the car and got out he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on other stuff and failed to perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I inflicted any kind of problems because of driving it?" I stated that generally there should not be problems and also that I'd remove the wrong fuel as quickly as possible for him. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and then yet another pleased customer could carry on with his travelling without any subsequent hassle. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what makes working on Sundays in Lancashire that little better for me!

He thought it would be good to fill up before going on to the local recreation park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol instead of diesel which unfortunately wasn't a good start to our holiday." It was certainly no challenge by any means for our technical engineer to go out and carry out the fuel drain. We hope they enjoyed their holiday break.
