Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any associated issues.

AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course do not turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is likely to lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases very swiftly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Vehicle Misfuel Chewton Mendip - Chewton Mendip Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a great evening hiking during my off day and was feeling satisfied the following day as I headed out to assist a young family who were vacationing in Chewton Mendip. They had stopped after filling petrol in their Volvo, and were approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Somerset and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his missus. Poor guy. Anyways, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved farewell and thought about what my wife would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
