It was about 9 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were resting there discussing the sports rankings, ready for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Mossy Lea and filled petrol in her diesel Lexus rental by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away calm and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Lancashire we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely take care not to start up the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If you have started the car you will probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
