It was before 10 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Ray and I were seated talking about the golf results, at the ready for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Potsgrove and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW rental by mistake. The poor lady was very affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that such things do happen.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Bedfordshire we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially due to people not understanding how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you end up in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will often trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
