It was about six pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated going over the weekend's rugby rankings, ready for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Swalwell and put petrol in a diesel Skoda hire car by mistake. She was fairly affected it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady almost instantly.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Tyne and Wear we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of people not being totally sure how to work with it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it right away. And certainly take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can certainly bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel.

Fuel Drain Swalwell - Swalwell Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a fantastic day cycling during my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I set out to assist a young family who were on holiday in Swalwell. They conked out after filling diesel into their MINI, and were roughly an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this occurs everyday in Tyne and Wear and that it's really nothing to fret about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyways, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove away I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
