In due time we received the call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Old Knebworth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai hire car. The unfortunate thing was very agitated it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things can happen.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank may well contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

It was actually early in the morning and our engineer, who stays nearby, got to him in about twenty minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the car. "Many thanks to you for your prompt response, particularly at 1 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
