It was after six pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and me were sitting there talking over the football, prepared for the sixth call that day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Bushmoor and filled petrol in a diesel Smart hire car by mistake. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things can happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being aware of how to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And of course do not turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is likely to contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
