It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were sitting there discussing the recent rugby, at the ready for the 8th call that day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Selhurst and put petrol in her diesel Mazda rental in error. She was very troubled apparently, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, also that such things can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe position and, since it was just a few miles off from us, we could get to her without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Croydon well done in my mind!

Wrong Fuel Selhurst - Selhurst Wrong Fuel
Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Saturday and I was en route to help an older woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda in Selhurst. I'd been advised she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down in a backwater road on the way to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and arrived within an hour. I reached the destination and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she said to me, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel seeing that I had only got it a couple of days back after my old car, which I had for more than 30 years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job done and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a pleasant Croydon lady!

AdBlue In Diesel
In Croydon we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the automobile.
Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.
In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course do not turn over the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important situation to address in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather expediently.
You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Wrong Fuel Doctor Selhurst - Selhurst Fuel Drain
A gentleman who had put the wrong fuel in his diesel Fiat phoned us for a fuel drain at the Murco filling station in Selhurst. He thought it would be good to fill up before going on to the nearby recreation park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol rather than diesel which wasn't a smart beginning to our getaway." It was definitely no trouble in the least for our technical engineer to go and do the fuel drain. We hope the family had a good holiday.
