It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and I were resting talking over the footy results, prepared for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Queensbury and put petrol in a diesel MG lease car. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things regrettably happen.

Assisting you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Harrow we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly due to people being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course be careful not to start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking spot. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
