It was just before 9 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Brian and I were seated commenting on the recent football, waiting for the next job for the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Fairfield and put petrol in a diesel Jaguar hire car in error. The poor lady was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, because it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. Yet another job in County Durham done well in my opinion!

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Wednesday and we were on the way to help an old lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Nissan in Fairfield. I'd been told she had left the filling station and was pulled up on a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I reached the car and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing the work she said, "I have been getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I'd only bought it a couple of days back because my old one, which I had used for more than 25 years, finally stopped working". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a delightful County Durham woman!

AdBlue In Diesel
All around County Durham we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.
Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly don't start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can certainly bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances very expediently.
You should know that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

I had appreciated a great evening fishing on my off day and was feeling satisfied the next working day as I set out to aid a new family on holiday in Fairfield. They had stopped after adding diesel into their Volvo, and they were about an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl telling off her partner for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this takes place everyday in County Durham and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he still had an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would never ever live it down!

It truly was an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly sunrise and almost noone was stirring. It had been pretty dead thus far, and me and Ryan were relaxing reading a number of old papers. This was an unusual tranquil hour in County Durham. Actually it was that peaceful that when the phone rang I leaped! The motorist on the phone told me: "I've completed my night shift and foolishly put petrol in my SEAT". We told him to let us know where he was situated and we left, ending up in Fairfield under an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the engine. He said thanks a lot for coming so promptly. While we were returning to base we saw two young women on the edge of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled over to help them change it, to their delight.
