The unfortunate lady was quite troubled it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things sadly often happen.

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Surrey we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And certainly take care not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances very swiftly.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Surrey to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages.
