The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

This was exactly the night shift. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was around. It was pretty dead so far, and me and John were sitting about browsing a couple of old newspapers. It was an uncommon tranquil moment in Staffordshire. It was indeed that tranquil that when the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The person said: "I have only just ended my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in a diesel faithful Seat". I asked him to let us know just where he was and we hit the road, getting to him in Featherstone half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the car and he thanked us profusely for showing up so quickly. While we were going back to the depot we spotted two young women at the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped to change it, to their elation.
