It was just before 6 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and me were resting talking about the sports results, waiting for the 8th job to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Melksham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki lease car by mistake. She was pretty distressed apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the motel she was living at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and much less concerned. Another fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Wiltshire we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly never start up the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will often produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
