It was before eight pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's footy, at the ready for the seventh job of the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Mile Elm and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia rental by mistake. She was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure spot and, because it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in case you?ve poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made from a mixture of urea and deionized water (67.5%).It is actually disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel tank. The moment the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be squirted into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, leading to disastrous and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And absolutely never switch on the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may well produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations fairly quickly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
