It was before five pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting commenting on the tennis, prepared for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Lockerbie and filled petrol in a diesel Volvo rental car. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Dumfries and Galloway well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination
In Dumfries and Galloway we have identified more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by people not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the car.
Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.
If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously never start up the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances quite easily.
Take note that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}
