It was just before 9 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing there going over the recent tennis results, waiting around for the 8th job that day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Putney and put petrol in a diesel Kia rental car. The poor thing was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things do happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected space and, because it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to find the woman without delay. The bad fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and less stressed. Yet another job in Wandsworth done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Wandsworth we have found progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to people not knowing the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is likely to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
