It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and me were relaxing there going over the recent golf, waiting for the 8th job to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Forthay and put petrol in her diesel Citroen rental in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed apparently, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things happen.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Gloucestershire we have noticed a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you discover youself to be in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
