Just had a good night of sleep! 7:00 on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and we were on the way to assist an older woman after she had put petrol in her diesel Vauxhall in Stoke-on-Trent. I'd been informed she had driven away from the petrol station and was pulled up on a country lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I reached the destination and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel as I had just purchased it a short while ago right after my previous car, which I owned for about 25 years, finally died on me". I finished the job and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Staffordshire lady!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Staffordshire we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may well trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases quite swiftly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Wrong Fuel in Car Stoke-on-Trent - Stoke-on-Trent Petrol in Diesel

A lady from Stoke-on-Trent with a full car of kids in her diesel Vauxhall had put £30 of petrol at the BP service station. She phoned us sobbing and very upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle . We assured her that everything would be okay and that she would be back in action very quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the youngsters in the back."

Petrol in Diesel Stoke-on-Trent - Stoke-on-Trent Wrong Fuel

I'd had a perfect afternoon hiking during my afternoon off and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I set out to help a new couple on holiday in Stoke-on-Trent. They'd conked out after adding diesel in their Lexus, and the car was close to half an hour away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the wife telling her husband off for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass quite frequently in Staffordshire and that it's truly nothing to be concerned about, even so he still got an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove off I waved farewell and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I'd never live it down!
