The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will often result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases quite swiftly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Longtown - Wrong Fuel in Car Longtown

I'd had a wonderful afternoon golfing on the weekend and was feeling cheerful the following working day as I was on the way to assist a young family who were holidaying in Longtown. They conked out after inserting diesel in their maroon Nissan Leaf, and were about half an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed while I listened to the woman telling off her partner for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this problem goes on regularly in Herefordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, even so he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I mouthed so long and wondered what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the very same blunder... I'd never live it down!
