It was around ten pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry night, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and me were sitting commenting on the recent golf, ready for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Beaumont Leys and filled petrol in her diesel Toyota hire car in error. She was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the customer rather quickly.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Leicestershire we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And certainly be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. If perhaps you did start the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
