It was just before ten pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were relaxing there talking about the football results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Hawkcombe and filled petrol in a diesel boss' Audi RS6 rental. She was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected position and, as it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and not so anxious. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel
All around Somerset we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not being aware of the right way to work with it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.
Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?
As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.
In case you get in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the technical skills and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hawkcombe - Wrong Fuel in Car Hawkcombe
I'd had a perfect day fishing during the weekend and felt contented the following morning as I set off to assist a new couple on vacation in Hawkcombe. They'd broken down after filling diesel in their light blue Volvo S70, and were roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked as I heard to the lady telling off her hubby for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this problem happens regularly in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
