It was just before eight pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were resting there talking over the recent rugby, at the ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Tuckerton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to the woman right away. The wrong fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and much less worried. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we have found a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you end up in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations fairly simply.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains
