It was after 9 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were resting discussing the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Copp and put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental car. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably can happen.

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Lancashire we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel may trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.
