We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Northumberland we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never crank the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations rather easily.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Recent Fuel Drains in Stannington

Stories from our Stannington employees:

I am not ever that inclined to doing work on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had only just left the family filled with a tasty roast cooked for us by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a fellow who had filled the wrong petrol in his Hyundai. He was situated in Stannington and so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and got out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other stuff and did not grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created some harm by starting it?" I explained there should not be any kind of harm and also that I would personally drain the fuel quickly for him. Naturally I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and so another satisfied client could continue their ride without the need for difficulty. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and that is exactly what helps make working on Sundays in Northumberland just a little bit easier for me!

Fuel Rescue Stannington - Stannington Petrol in Diesel

A young lady from Stannington with her youngsters in her diesel Citroen had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the filling station. She contacted us weeping and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that all should be fine and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we arrived she was still upset but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough brightened up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the youngsters in the back."
