It was after eight pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing there talking about the tennis rankings, waiting around for the sixth call that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Burley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover hire car. She was fairly affected apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout West Yorkshire we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people being unsure of how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously don't switch on the car - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations pretty simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
