It was just before 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated discussing the recent footy results, ready for the next call that day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Stewarton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes rental car in error. The poor lady was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car!

AdBlue Contamination

In East Ayrshire we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely take care not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations very quickly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel.
