The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

This was certainly what we call an unsociable time to be awake. It was around sunrise and almost noone was around. It had become quite quiet thus far, and Mark and I were relaxing perusing a few old newspapers. It was a rare quiet moment in Northamptonshire. Actually it was in fact that calm that the instant my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The voice on the opposite end stated: "I've only just concluded my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in my diesel navy blue Toyota Corolla". We instructed him to tell us just where he was and we hit the road, arriving in Fotheringhay less than an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he said thank you for getting there so rapidly. As we were going back to the office we found two girls on the edge of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we got out to change it, much to their elation.
