It was after five pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing talking about the rugby, prepared for the next job for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Mundham and filled petrol in a diesel SEAT hire car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to find her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and a lot less apprehensive. A job in Norfolk done well in my mind!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do if you have put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical composed of a blend of urea and ionized water.It is definitely damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with Adblue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely don't start up the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can certainly result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations quite easily.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel.
