It was just after 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Paul and me were relaxing there going over the recent footy results, waiting around for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Kingsdown and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very distressed it seemed, saying "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the car into a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could get to the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and much less concerned. One more fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my books!

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can fix any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Wiltshire we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's 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. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And certainly never switch on the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
