It was just before eight pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting commenting on the recent tennis results, ready for the sixth call to come in. In due time we received a call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Knutton and put petrol in her diesel Skoda hire car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from us, we were able to find the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and a lot less anxious. Another job in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in the event that you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution that is made from a mixture of ionized water (67.5%) and urea.Adblue is certainly damaging to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in your tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, bringing about catastrophic and costly damage to your automobile's fuel system.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol will produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
