It was around 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Brian and me were relaxing there going over the golf rankings, ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Hilperton Marsh and filled petrol in a diesel Land Rover hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from the office, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A job in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Wiltshire we are noticing an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not knowing how to to make use of (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases rather easily.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
