It was about eight pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were seated talking about the tennis results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Dalham and filled petrol in a diesel Nissan rental. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and that such things happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to find the lady right away.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Suffolk we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to take care of in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may well result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

Wrong Fuel in Car Dalham - Dalham Fuel Rescue

I'd had a great afternoon cycling during the weekend and felt contented with myself the next day as I set off to assist a young couple who were away in Dalham. They stopped after adding diesel in their Citroen, and were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the woman berating her man for being so stupid. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs frequently in Suffolk and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, nevertheless he still had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyhow, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed goodbye and wondered what my missus would do to me if I made the exact same error... I would never live it down!
