It was just after six pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting talking over the footy results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Portbury and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it if you may have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? It is definitely devastating to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in your fuel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, resulting in catastrophic and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank can potentially bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances pretty expediently.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Wrong Fuel in Car Portbury, Somerset

Wrong Fuel Portbury - Portbury Vehicle Misfuel

I had a perfect day hiking during the weekend and was feeling pleased the following day as I set out to aid a young family who were vacationing in Portbury. They had broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their Chevrolet, and the car was around an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I heard to the gal telling her man off for being so foolish. "How could you actually be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing occurs constantly in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, even so he all the same had his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive off I waved bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
