It was about five pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were seated there talking over the recent football, ready for the next call to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Bradford and filled petrol in her diesel Peugeot lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably do happen.

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Greater Manchester we have discovered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely never crank the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can certainly result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
