It was before eight pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing there talking over the footy rankings, ready for the seventh call to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Mainsforth and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart rental by mistake. The poor lady was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things sadly often happen.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout County Durham we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will likely lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations quite swiftly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

A motorist had broken down off a street in Mainsforth. His Skoda engine had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was awry till he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle."
