It was around five pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining!

Eventually we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Lynton and Lynmouth and put petrol in her diesel Volvo lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly do happen.

AdBlue In your Fuel
In Devon we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to people not being aware of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.
Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly do not start the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to address in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases very simply.
Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lynton and Lynmouth - Lynton and Lynmouth Wrong Fuel
I had enjoyed a fantastic day cycling during the weekend and was feeling delighted the following working day as I headed out to aid a new couple who were away in Lynton and Lynmouth. They conked out after inserting the wrong fuel into their Mitsubishi, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the lady telling her man off for turning out to be so confused. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this situation takes place quite frequently in Devon and that it's nothing at all to stress about, nonetheless he all the same had an earful. Unlucky chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what my missus would say to me if ever I made the very same error... I'd never hear the end of it!

This was exactly the night shift. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was around. It was quite dead thus far, and Paul and I were sitting browsing a number of old newspapers. It was an unusual calm moment in Devon. It was indeed that relaxing that the moment the telephone ultimately rang it made me start! The customer on the other end explained: "I completed my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in a diesel Kia by mistake". We asked him to let us know just where the car was located and we headed out, ending up in Lynton and Lynmouth less than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He thanked us for getting there so promptly. As we were going back to the depot we noticed two young ladies on the edge of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.
