Before long we had a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Formby and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford lease car. The unfortunate thing was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Formby - Formby Fuel Drain

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Monday and I was en route to assist an elder lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel Audi in Formby. I had been told she had left the petrol station and was stranded along a country road en route to visit her grandchildren. I popped the location into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I'd only got it a short while ago right after my previous one, which I had had for more than 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a precious Merseyside lady!

Our Areas of Experience :

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Merseyside we have encountered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not knowing how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And obviously take care not to start up the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances rather simply.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the fuel.
