It was before 5 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking over the football results, at the ready for the 6th call to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Dawlish and filled petrol in her diesel MG rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and less concerned. Another job in Devon well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Devon we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances very simply.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains
