It was just before seven pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were resting there talking over the recent footy, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Robin Hood and filled petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi hire car in error. She was fairly distressed it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got really wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Lancashire well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Lancashire we have found a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of people not being aware of the way to use it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the car.
So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.
If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously do not start the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations rather simply.
You should know though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
Removal of Waste Fuel

We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Lancashire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Recent Fuel Drains in Robin Hood
Stories from our own Robin Hood technicians:
We completed a wrong fuel retrieval exercise on the drive of a beautiful property in Robin Hood recently. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to nearly arrive at home when my car stopped." Our specialist went out, despite the fact that it was pretty late at night, and carried out a thorough fuel drain and purge on the SEAT to everyone's satisfaction.
Petrol in Diesel Robin Hood - Robin Hood Wrong Fuel in Car
A gentleman who had unluckily put unleaded in his diesel SEAT called us for assistance at the Esso filling station in Robin Hood. He had decided to fill up before proceeding on to the local caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol rather than diesel which wasn't a smart start to our holiday." It was absolutely no trouble in any way for our fuel drainer to go along and carry out the fuel drain. We hope everyone enjoyed their holiday.
