It was around ten pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! Mark and me were sitting there talking about the recent tennis results, at the ready for the 8th job that day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Appleby-in-Westmorland and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen rental by mistake. She was fairly troubled it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle!

AdBlue In your Fuel
Throughout Cumbria we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the vehicle.
Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And obviously don't turn over the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.
Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}
