It was close to five pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining!

In due time we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Glossop and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Honda lease car in error. The poor thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably can happen.

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Derbyshire we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not being aware of how to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And of course never switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel.
