It was just after 5 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting going over the weekend's football results, prepared for the seventh job for the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Swaton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki rental car in error. The poor lady was quite affected it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from our van, we could get to her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was staying in.

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

In Lincolnshire we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not knowing the way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If you have started the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances rather simply.

You should know that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
