It was before 7 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and I were sitting discussing the golf results, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Sinnington and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen hire car. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly happen. She was able to move the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could reach the lady without delay. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and a lot less stressed. Another job in North Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All around North Yorkshire we are discovering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously be careful not to crank the car - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel may well trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations fairly simply.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Wrong Fuel in Car Sinnington - Sinnington Wrong Fuel Doctor

I enjoyed a great evening hiking during my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the next morning as I was on the way to assist a young couple who were vacationing in Sinnington. They broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their Audi, and were about half an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the girl chastising her hubby for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this occurs all the time in North Yorkshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he still had an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted farewell and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
