It was around 9 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing commenting on the recent sports results, prepared for the seventh call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Haydon and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault hire car in error. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected area and, as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to her swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. Another job in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Wiltshire we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. In case you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel will produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Have an old fuel container laying in the rear of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Wiltshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in Haydon (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Haydon - Haydon Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a terrific evening golfing during the weekend and felt pleased the next working day as I set off to aid a new family holidaying in Haydon. They'd stopped after filling diesel into their Fiat, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smirked as I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this goes on regularly in Wiltshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed goodbye and considered what my wife would tell me in the event that I made the very same error... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
