It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting there discussing the golf results, ready for the sixth job for the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Wootton and put petrol in her diesel MG rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things sadly do happen. She managed to get the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and less worried. One more misfuel correction in Oxfordshire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Oxfordshire we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And of course be careful not to start the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you would very likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol may well contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases fairly simply.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.
