It was before six pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were seated talking about the tennis rankings, prepared for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Woodlands and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental by mistake. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly happen. She was able to get the car into a protected space and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. A job in Hounslow done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hounslow we are encountering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely take care not to turn over the engine - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can easily bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Wrong Fuel Assist Woodlands - Woodlands Vehicle Misfuel

I had a terrific day hiking during my holiday and felt pleased the next working day as I headed out to assist a young couple on holiday in Woodlands. They pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their Mazda, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the wife telling her spouse off for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Hounslow and that it's nothing at all to stress about, nevertheless he still had an earful by his wife. I felt sorry for the chap. At any rate, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved so long and wondered what her indoors would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
