Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Albert Village and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MINI rental in error.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Leicestershire we have discovered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations quite simply.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Fuel Removal Albert Village - Albert Village Wrong Fuel

A man had conked out just near a road in Albert Village. His Hyundai car had stopped running and he had no idea what was the problem until eventually he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten virtually no sleep the day before and that must have been the reason.
