It was just before 10 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were sitting commenting on the recent footy rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Back oth Brook and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia hire car. The unfortunate lady was very agitated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately do happen.

Our Fields of Specialties:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Staffordshire we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If you did start the car you would very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is going to trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations fairly expediently.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel.
