It was about 9 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting commenting on the recent sports results, prepared for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in West Knoyle and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Wiltshire we are finding a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you find yourself in this situation don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the technical expertise and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is likely to result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations pretty easily.

You should know that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Petrol in Diesel West Knoyle - West Knoyle Wrong Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a perfect evening golfing on my holiday and felt delighted the next working day as I headed out to assist a new family who were vacationing in West Knoyle. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their Audi, and the car was roughly half an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and laughed while I listened to the woman telling off her hubby for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this occurs quite frequently in Wiltshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to stress about, nonetheless he still got an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved goodbye and thought about what my missus would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
