It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, ready for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Croxdale and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda lease car in error. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly do happen.

Our Areas of Expertise:

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any connected issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In County Durham we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most certainly don't start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. If you have started the car you may likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can certainly trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations rather swiftly.

Take note though that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel.
