It was just before 9 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! James and I were sitting discussing the weekend's football, at the ready for the 6th call to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Forton Heath and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall lease car in error. The poor lady was quite distressed it seemed, stating "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately often happen.

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Shropshire we have noticed increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course take care not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In case you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to address in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank is likely to result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases rather easily.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
