She was fairly affected apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!"

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around West Midlands we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly don't switch on the engine - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases very easily.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in West Midlands for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in California (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive West Midlands Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car. They can also handle any of the normal issues that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
