It was close to six pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting talking over the recent rugby results, waiting around for the 8th job for the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Burford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda hire car in error. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from the office, we were able to find her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another job in Cheshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Cheshire we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not knowing the way to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly don't switch on the motor - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol may cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases very easily.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
