It was before 5 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were sitting going over the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Llanharry and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet rental car in error. She was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected position and, because it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Rhondda Cynon Taf we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly due to motorists not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may well contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations rather quickly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
