It was just after ten pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were relaxing there talking about the footy, at the ready for the sixth job of the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Ford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda lease car in error. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. One more misfuel correction in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Wiltshire we have found progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not being aware of how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can certainly result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases rather easily.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Wiltshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages.
