It was just before ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing commenting on the recent rugby results, waiting for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Longwood and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat lease car. The poor lady was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately can happen.

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In West Yorkshire we have seen increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not switch on the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases very swiftly.

Remember that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
