We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In City of Edinburgh we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't crank the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can certainly result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances quite quickly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Wrong Fuel Ratho - Ratho Fuel Removal

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was around 2am and noone was about. It was fairly quiet thus far, and me and Paul were sitting about browsing several old magazines. It was an unusual peaceful hour in City of Edinburgh. It was that calm that the moment the telephone inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The customer said: "I've only just ended my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the Mazda". We asked him to let us know where he was located and we set off, arriving in Ratho only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the motor. He thanked us profusely for getting there so rapidly. As we were going back to base we saw two ladies on the side of the road who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we got out and helped them change it, to their delight.
