It was before 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated going over the recent rugby results, at the ready for the next call of the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in South Shields and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan hire car. She was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could get to her swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and not so stressed. One more job in Tyne and Wear well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Tyne and Wear we have encountered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of people not understanding how to work with it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you discover youself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the practical skills and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel may well bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases fairly swiftly.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains
