It was around ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were relaxing talking about the recent golf rankings, ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Howsham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda rental. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could find the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in.

We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Lincolnshire we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel may lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases quite expediently.

Be aware that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
