It was after six pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting talking over the sports, prepared for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Shardlow and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault hire car. She was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to move the car into a secure area and, as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could get to the customer quickly.

Wrong Fuel in Car Shardlow - Shardlow Wrong Fuel Drain
I'd had a wonderful evening fishing on the weekend and felt cheerful the following working day as I was en route to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Shardlow. They'd broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their Mazda, and they were approximately an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smiled while I heard to the lady telling her husband off for being so silly. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this takes place regularly in Derbyshire and that it's truly nothing to stress about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good bye and wondered what my missus would do to me if ever I made the same mistake... I would personally never live it down!

AdBlue Contamination
All over Derbyshire we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.
So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
Should you find yourself in this position don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the practical competence and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will often bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases fairly easily.
Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.
