It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the recent football rankings, at the ready for the sixth call that day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Oakwood and put petrol in a diesel Porsche hire car. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, as it was just a few miles from us, we could reach the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and much less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Northumberland done well in my mind!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Northumberland we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not being aware of how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you would likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is likely to produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances quite quickly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
