It was before 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated talking about the recent tennis, waiting for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Mazda rental by mistake. The poor lady was pretty agitated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in.

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Carmarthenshire we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously never start the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you may likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}
