I'd been told she drove away from the petrol station and was broken down on a rural road on the way to visit her family. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I am becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel as I had just bought it a short while back when my former car, which I'd used for in excess of thirty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks. What a delightful County Durham lady!

It was close to 5 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were sitting there talking about the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the 8th call for the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Elstob and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai rental car in error. The poor lady was fairly affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things sadly happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing at.

AdBlue Contamination
All around County Durham we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.
So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.
Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel may well bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances rather easily.
Take note that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
