It was after 6 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting commenting on the recent rugby, at the ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Summerstown and filled petrol in a diesel Smart rental in error. She was fairly troubled apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from our van, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at.

Our Areas of Competency :

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Wandsworth we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially 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 because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can certainly trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases rather expediently.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
