It was just before 5 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were sitting there talking over the rugby, ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in New England and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things sadly do happen. She managed to move the car to a safe space and, since it was just a short distance away from our van, we could arrive at her quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people not knowing the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to handle in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can certainly result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations very swiftly.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
