It was around 6 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there talking over the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Longhorsley and filled petrol in her diesel Smart rental by mistake. She was fairly affected apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and less stressed.

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Northumberland we have found increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not knowing how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course don't turn over the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is going to cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

It was yet early in the morning and our engineer, who lives not far away, got to him in less than 15 minutes. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in the vehicle.
