Inevitably we got a call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Hibaldstow and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi rental car in error. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!"

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lincolnshire we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will often cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations very simply.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hibaldstow - Hibaldstow Wrong Fuel in Car

I appreciated a perfect day hiking on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a young family who were on holiday in Hibaldstow. They had stopped after inserting petrol in their Skoda, and the car was about half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smiled while I listened to the gal berating her spouse for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this takes place everyday in Lincolnshire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he still had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted goodbye and considered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the very same error... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
