It was close to six pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting for the next call of the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Braceby and filled petrol in her diesel Audi rental car. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and less concerned. Yet another job in Lincolnshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lincolnshire we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not knowing how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most certainly do not start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases quite quickly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
