It was about 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting talking about the weekend's golf results, ready for the 8th job for the day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Purley and put petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi hire car by mistake. The poor lady was quite distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably often happen.

Our Services:

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Bexley we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And most certainly don't switch on the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
