It was before 8 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting there commenting on the recent tennis results, ready for the 6th job of the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Ham Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota rental car by mistake. The poor lady was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably do happen.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we are discovering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will often result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances very simply.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
