It was about seven pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there talking over the tennis rankings, at the ready for the next job of the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Great Sutton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental car by mistake. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to find the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and not so worried. A misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Shropshire we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And certainly never start the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances very expediently.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in Shropshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages.
