It was just after eight pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were resting commenting on the weekend's football results, waiting around for the sixth call to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Surfleet and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover rental car. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things sadly happen.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Lincolnshire we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you get in this situation don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases rather simply.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Lincolnshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Surfleet - Surfleet Petrol in Diesel

I had appreciated a wonderful afternoon golfing during my holiday and was feeling delighted the next morning as I set out to help a young family who were holidaying in Surfleet. They had pulled over after adding diesel into their MG, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this situation comes to pass constantly in Lincolnshire and that it is nothing to fret about, nonetheless he all the same got his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
