It was just before five pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated discussing the recent golf rankings, waiting for the seventh call to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Claregate and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MG lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things often happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected position and, because it was only a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at the lady right away. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and less stressed. One more job in West Midlands well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around West Midlands we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not being aware of the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to address in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
