It was just after ten pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were seated talking over the tennis, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Kilmeston and put petrol in her diesel Dacia lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately can happen.

Services We Provide:

Below are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do if you may have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that?s made out of a mixture of high-purity ionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).It is actually disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in your fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, bringing about catastrophic and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

If you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly never turn over the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you would probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may well trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
