It was before eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting going over the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the 8th telephone call to come in. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Newington and put petrol in her diesel SEAT hire car. She was quite irritated it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from the office, we could get to the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and much less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely don't switch on the car - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations pretty easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

A customer phoned us from his residence on a street in Newington. He said, "My vehicle (a Skoda) is not running and is creating dreadful sounds when I turn the key." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then reckoned he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to advise people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained right away.
