Wrong Fuel Maida Vale - Maida Vale Fuel Drain

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Monday and I was off to help an older sweetheart who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Toyota in Maida Vale. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station and was stranded on a backwater road en route to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I reached the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I had only got it a couple of days ago right after my former car, which I had for in excess of 30 years, eventually broke down". I completed the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a lovely Westminster woman!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Westminster we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In the event that you did start the car you will likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will often produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Fuel Drain Maida Vale - Maida Vale Wrong Fuel in Car

I had a terrific afternoon golfing during my off day and was feeling pleased the next working day as I headed out to assist a young family who were on holiday in Maida Vale. They had stopped after adding diesel into their Porsche, and the car was around half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife berating her husband for actually being so confused. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this situation happens on daily basis in Westminster and that it's truly nothing to fret about, nevertheless he all the same had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor guy. In any case, I drained all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove off I mouthed bon voyage and considered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever live it down!
