It was just before 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting talking about the weekend's football, waiting for the sixth job of the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Thurlbear and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW lease car. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another job in Somerset done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have noticed a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you discover youself to be in this predicament don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the specialised skills and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important condition to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can easily lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.
