It was just before ten pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting discussing the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the seventh job to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Chaldon and put petrol in a diesel Dacia hire car by mistake. The poor lady was very agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things happen. She was able to get the car to a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Merton we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank will often produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances very quickly.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
