It was close to 5 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's sports, at the ready for the sixth call that day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling garage in West Calder and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental car. The poor thing was pretty affected apparently, stating "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe position and, since it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to find the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was lodging in.

AdBlue In Your Diesel
All around West Lothian we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.
So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And obviously do not start the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important condition to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can potentially lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances very easily.
You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Recent Fuel Drains in West Calder
Just a few of the typical stories we get from many of our employees in West Calder:
Now I'm not necessarily excessively interested in working weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed the wife and kids after a fantastic Sunday roast cooked for us by the wife, and I was on the way to deal with a guy because he filled the wrong petrol in his Porsche. He was somewhere in West Calder and so I arrived on scene before long. Just as I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Praise the Lord! I had my thoughts on other stuff and failed to grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on some damage because of driving it?" I determined that there shouldn't be any damage and also I would remove the fuel right away for him. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and then one more delighted customer was able to carry on with his travelling without any subsequent bother. The guy could not stop thanking me, and this is actually what tends to make carrying out work on Sundays in West Lothian just a tiny bit better for me personally!

It truly was what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly dawn and nobody was stirring. It was pretty quiet until now, and Brian and I were loafing perusing a few old magazines. It was a rare tranquil hour in West Lothian. It was that relaxing that the instant my mobile ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The voice stated: "I have finished my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in my Smart by mistake". I asked him to let us know exactly where the car was and we headed out, ending up in West Calder under half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for showing up so rapidly. While we were coming back home we spotted two young ladies on the edge of the street who seemed like they had a flat. So we pulled over to change it, to their delight.
