It was after 10 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were sitting there commenting on the recent football rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Darley Hillside and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover rental car by mistake. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and a lot less worried. A job in Derbyshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Derbyshire we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And certainly don't start up the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
