The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances rather swiftly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

I'd had a wonderful evening golfing on my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the next morning as I was on the way to help a young family vacationing in Willingdon. They stopped after inserting diesel into their boss' Volvo240, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this situation comes to pass on daily basis in East Sussex and that it's nothing to be concerned about, however he still got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. At any rate, I drained the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and thought about what my missus would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

This really was what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to 3 in the morning and noone was stirring. It had become pretty uneventful up to now, and me and Ryan were relaxing browsing several old articles. It was a rare restful hour in East Sussex. Actually it was that tranquil that the moment my mobile inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The person on the other end said: "I've just finished my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in a diesel cyan Land Rover Discovery by mistake". We asked him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was and we set off, ending up in Willingdon under an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming out so quickly. While we were going back to the office we spotted two young women on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their elation.
