It was before five pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and I were sitting there talking about the rugby rankings, waiting for the 8th call of the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Elvet Hill and filled petrol in a diesel Audi rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things happen. She managed to get the car into a protected spot and, as it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to find the lady without delay. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in.

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In County Durham we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised competence and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel is likely to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances very swiftly.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains
