It was before 10 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the 6th job of the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Freiston and filled petrol in a diesel Dacia rental car by mistake. She was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, as it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find the lady rather quickly.

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Lincolnshire we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you discover youself to be in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the practical competence and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases very simply.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}
