We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely do not turn over the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can potentially bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances very simply.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

Vehicle Misfuel Ilminster - Ilminster Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a perfect afternoon cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling pleased with myself the following working day as I was on the way to help a young family vacationing in Ilminster. They'd stopped after inserting diesel into their Suzuki, and they were approximately an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled as I listened to the wife telling her spouse off for turning out to be so silly. "How could you conceivably be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on all the time in Somerset and that it's actually absolutely nothing to fret about, nonetheless he yet still got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor lad. Anyway, I drained all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While they drove off I shouted good bye and thought about what my wife would ask me if ever I made the very same error... I would never live it down!
