It was before 9 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were relaxing talking about the recent sports, waiting around for the 8th job to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Birkby and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things often happen.

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In West Yorkshire we have discovered an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to start the car - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Remember that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
