It was after ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and me were sitting there commenting on the sports results, ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Kingsway and filled petrol in her diesel MG hire car in error. She was fairly troubled apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from the office, we could find the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in.

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may well produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances quite easily.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Wrong Fuel in Car Kingsway - Kingsway Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had enjoyed a terrific afternoon golfing on my afternoon off and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I set out to help a new family on holiday in Kingsway. They'd stopped after adding petrol in their Porsche, and the car was approximately an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife berating her hubby for being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing goes on on daily basis in Somerset and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Poor lad. In any case, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove off I shouted bon voyage and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I would personally never ever live it down!
