It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were resting talking over the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Foxcote and put the wrong fuel in her diesel classic Jaguar S-Type lease car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Gloucestershire we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at once. And definitely do not turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

I had appreciated a great evening fishing during my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next day as I headed out to help a new family on vacation in Foxcote. They had stopped after inserting petrol into their Ferarri red Suzuki Samurai, and the car was about an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass everyday in Gloucestershire and that it's nothing to stress about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent. I felt sorry for the chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel.

It truly was what we call the night shift. It was roughly sunrise and almost noone was around. It was pretty dead up to now, and Ray and I were sitting reading a couple of old articles. That was an uncommon quiet hour in Gloucestershire. Actually it was so tranquil that when the phone rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I only just completed my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my diesel metallic yellow Volvo XC90". We told him to let us know exactly where the car was and we left, arriving in Foxcote no more than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for coming so fast. As we were heading back to the depot we spotted two young women on the side of the street who looked like they had a flat tyre. So we stopped to change it, to their elation.
