Petrol in Diesel Preston - Preston Wrong Fuel Drain
What a quality night of sleep! 7:00 am on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and I was off to help an elder lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Mazda in Preston. I had been advised she had left the filling station and pulled up in a country lane on route to see her grandchildren. I punched the location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour. I reached the car and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she told me, "I am becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd just purchased it several days ago when my other car, which I'd owned for about twenty five years, eventually stopped working". I got the job completed and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a pleasant Wiltshire lady!

It was just after six pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing commenting on the recent golf, at the ready for the next call to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Preston and filled petrol in a diesel Nissan rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather irritated apparently, crying "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at.

AdBlue In your Fuel
In Wiltshire we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the automobile.
Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.
If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In case you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to take care of in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases very easily.
Remember however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Wiltshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Recent Fuel Drains in Preston
Stories from our own Preston mechanics:
I am not necessarily that interested in working on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just departed home following a magnificent lunch cooked by the better half, and I was off to help a fellow who filled the wrong petrol in his Mercedes. He was only in Preston so I was there very quickly. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise God! I had my mind on stuff and failed to grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on some harm simply by running it?" I explained that generally there should not be any harm and that I would get the fuel drained immediately for him. It goes without saying that I drained the wrong fuel from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and thus another happy client could continue on their journey without any fuss. He could not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what can make earning a living on Sundays in Wiltshire just a little bit easier for me personally!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Preston - Preston Petrol in Diesel
A gentleman phoned us from his Toyota after he had conked out on the congested road. "I incorrectly put unleaded in my diesel car and I ultimately learned all about it a few miles along the road!" Luckily we were able to have an fuel drainer out to him in a fairly short time, taking into account the congestion, and he was soon back behind the wheel.
Wrong Fuel in Car Preston - Preston Wrong Fuel
I'd had a perfect afternoon hiking on my off day and felt pleased with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a young couple on vacation in Preston. They had broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their MG, and they were roughly an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the wife telling her husband off for being so confused. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place frequently in Wiltshire and that it's nothing to stress about, nonetheless he still got his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
