It was just before 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's sports, waiting for the next call that day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Irthlingborough and filled petrol in her diesel SEAT hire car in error. She was very irritated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Northamptonshire done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Northamptonshire we are finding a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Wrong Fuel in Car Irthlingborough - Irthlingborough Fuel Removal

I'd had a fantastic evening fishing during my off day and was feeling contented with myself the following working day as I headed out to aid a young family on holiday in Irthlingborough. They'd broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their Ford, and they were around an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed while I listened to the lady berating her hubby for actually being so stupid. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this situation occurs frequently in Northamptonshire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, however he yet still had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove off I waved good-bye and thought about what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
