It was around 7 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting talking about the sports rankings, waiting for the next fuel drain to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Stoke-on-Trent and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot rental car by mistake. The poor thing was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could find the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do in case you have poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is made out of a blend of ionized water and urea (32.5%).Adblue is certainly devastating to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with Adblue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be injected into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, triggering catastrophic and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never start up the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel may contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations very expediently.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.
