It was just before seven pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were sitting there going over the tennis, prepared for the 8th call to come in. Finally we got the call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in East End and filled petrol in a diesel Vauxhall rental car in error. She was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, because it was only a few miles from where we were, we could get to the lady rather quickly.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the car - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to many domestic and business premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.
