Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in South Hykeham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes lease car. She was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!"

Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lincolnshire we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to start the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will likely lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.
