It was before five pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were relaxing talking over the recent footy rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Holberrow Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda rental car. She was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. A job in Worcestershire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Worcestershire we are noticing an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not understanding the way to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously be careful not to crank the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases fairly easily.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Worcestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Wrong Fuel Drain Holberrow Green - Holberrow Green Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a wonderful evening golfing during my day off and was feeling pleased the next day as I set out to assist a new couple who were away in Holberrow Green. They conked out after putting diesel into their Vauxhall, and the car was about an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked while I heard to the lady telling her husband off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this goes on all the time in Worcestershire and that it is nothing at all to stress about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his better half. Poor chap. Anyhow, I drained out all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what my missus would do to me if ever I made the exact same error... I would never ever live it down!
