It was around 5 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Paul and I were resting discussing the footy, ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Norbiton and put petrol in her diesel Kia rental in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was only a short distance from us, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The wrong fuel was drained and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off contented and not so worried. One more misfuel correction in Merton well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Merton we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course never start the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is likely to lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
