It was just before eight pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting there talking about the recent rugby results, waiting around for the 6th job to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Townsend and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes lease car by mistake. The poor thing was very agitated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
Throughout Buckinghamshire we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.
Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.
In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't crank the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. If you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel is going to cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations very swiftly.
Be aware that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be wholly wet and unusable.
Marine Fuel Drains
If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Wrong Fuel Assist Townsend - Townsend Wrong Fuel Drain
I appreciated a fantastic evening fishing on my off day and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I was en route to help a new couple vacationing in Townsend. They broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their Honda, and they were roughly half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife chastising her partner for turning out to be so silly. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass regularly in Buckinghamshire and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, even so he in spite of everything got an earful by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyhow, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved farewell and considered what her indoors would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

We purged the petrol from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel system completely and the driver was able to proceed with his sheduled delivery.

A gentleman who had unluckily put the wrong fuel in his diesel Porsche called us for assistance at the Texaco petrol station in Townsend. He had decided to fill up before proceeding on to the local caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol as opposed to diesel which unfortunately wasn't a smart way to start to our holiday." It was absolutely no problem at all for our technical engineer to go and perform the fuel drain. We hope everyone had a good getaway.
