Vehicle Misfuel Woodcote - Woodcote Wrong Fuel Assist
I'd had a terrific afternoon cycling on my day off and felt satisfied the following morning as I was on the way to help a young family away in Woodcote. They had pulled over after putting petrol into their Dacia, and they were approximately an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling off her spouse for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this situation goes on quite frequently in Bexley and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he all the same had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor lad. Anyhow, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed good-bye and wondered what my wife would tell me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Bexley we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to one another on the car.
Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.
If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not turn over the motor - not even to move it from the pump. If you did start the car you will probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious situation to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can easily cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases rather swiftly.
Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Fuel Rescue Woodcote - Woodcote Wrong Fuel Assist
This was certainly the night shift. It was roughly 2:30am and almost noone was stirring. It was fairly quiet thus far, and me and Brian were loafing about looking at a couple of old magazines. This was an uncommon quiet hour in Bexley. Actually it was in fact that peaceful that the instant the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The customer told me: "I only just ended my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a Vauxhall in error". I instructed him to tell us exactly where he was and we left, getting to him in Woodcote not as much as 30 minutes later. The fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us for arriving so fast. As we were heading back to the office we spotted two young women on the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, much to their delight.
