It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated there discussing the recent golf, prepared for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Montpelier and filled petrol in her diesel Suzuki rental car. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things regrettably can happen.

Our Areas of Competency :

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Bristol we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not knowing the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you end up in this position don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank is likely to lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases very swiftly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel.
