AdBlue Contamination
In Lewisham we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not understanding the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.
Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all 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 at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And most certainly be careful not to crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations very expediently.
Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.
Motorboat Fuel Drains

We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Wrong Fuel Drain Sydenham - Sydenham Fuel Rescue
I had a perfect afternoon hiking during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next day as I set off to assist a new couple who were on holiday in Sydenham. They broken down after adding petrol into their Renault, and they were roughly an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked while I listened to the gal berating her hubby for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass frequently in Lewisham and that it is nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he still got an earful by his better half. Poor chap. At any rate, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and thought about what my missus would tell me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
