It was about 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining!

Eventually we received a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Linton and filled petrol in a diesel Mercedes rental car in error. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!"

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Cambridgeshire we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely never start the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will often result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank at the rear of your premises with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

We're able to get out to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Linton - Linton Fuel Removal

I'd had a terrific evening hiking during the weekend and felt contented the following day as I set off to aid a young couple on holiday in Linton. They'd broken down after inserting diesel into their Mercedes, and were roughly an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked as I heard to the girl chastising her husband for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on everyday in Cambridgeshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, nevertheless he yet still got an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyways, I drained all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would never ever live it down!
