It was close to eight pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Baffins and put petrol in her diesel Fiat lease car. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hampshire we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances quite easily.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Baffins - Baffins Fuel Rescue

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon hiking on my off day and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I set off to assist a new couple who were on vacation in Baffins. They had stopped after inserting diesel in their Fiat, and they were approximately half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the girl chastising her husband for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass all the time in Hampshire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to stress about, nevertheless he all the same got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. In any case, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove off I shouted farewell and wondered what my missus would ask me if I made the very same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!
