It was after six pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were sitting talking about the recent tennis, prepared for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Upwood and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi rental car. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things can happen. She was able to move the car to a safe position and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could arrive at the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and less stressed. One more job in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

In Cambridgeshire we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not being aware of the way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is going to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
