It was just before six pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated talking over the tennis rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Heathfield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!"

Fuel Removal Heathfield - Heathfield Wrong Fuel in Car
What a great night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Saturday and I was off to help an elder woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen in Heathfield. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down along a rural lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I got to the location and removed the wrong fuel out of the car.

I finished the job and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Somerset woman!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Heathfield - Heathfield Vehicle Misfuel
I'd had a perfect day cycling during my holiday and was feeling delighted the next morning as I headed out to assist a new family who were away in Heathfield. They stopped after inserting diesel into their Hyundai, and were roughly an hour away. I arrived at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so silly. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing takes place regularly in Somerset and that it is nothing to worry about, nonetheless he yet still had an ear bashing by his wife. Poor boy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I waved goodbye and considered what my missus would tell me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

AdBlue Contamination
Throughout Somerset we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.
Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely never turn over the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. If you have started the car you will likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations quite simply.
Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.
