It was just before seven pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the sixth telephone call to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Radstone and put petrol in a diesel new-shape Volvo S90 lease car by mistake. She was very distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was just a short distance away from our van, we could find the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Northamptonshire done well in my books!

We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.
AdBlue Contamination
All over Northamptonshire we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists being unsure of how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.
Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?
Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't crank the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
If you discover yourself to be in this position don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised know-how and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Radstone
I'm not actually excessively inclined to doing the job Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just left home after eating a magnificent roast made for me by the missus, and I was on my way to help a guy after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his company's Mazda B-Series Plus. He was situated in Radstone and so it wasn't long before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up at the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank God! I foolishly had my attention on other considerations and did not realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any problems simply by starting it?" I determined that truth be told there should not be any kind of problems and that I would personally drain the contaminated fuel immediately. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and thus one more happy customer had the ability to carry on with his ride with no fuss. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes working on Sundays in Northamptonshire just a little bit better in my opinion!
