It was about five pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's footy, at the ready for the next job that day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Honiton and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda rental. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to find the lady right away. The wrong fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Devon well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Devon we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations fairly simply.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.
