It was after 8 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were sitting talking about the weekend's golf, waiting for the seventh call that day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Parkgate and put petrol in a diesel maroon BMW 750 rental car in error. The poor thing was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could get to the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and not so concerned. Another job in Essex well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Essex we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Parkgate - Wrong Fuel in Car Parkgate

I appreciated a great evening hiking on the weekend and was feeling cheerful the following morning as I headed out to help a new couple on holiday in Parkgate. They had conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their sky blue Hyundai Santa Fe, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so confused. "How could you even manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this problem happens frequently in Essex and that it's really nothing at all to get worried about, nonetheless he all the same had his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel.
