It was just before 10 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were relaxing there commenting on the football rankings, at the ready for the seventh job to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Swingleton Green and filled petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi lease car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately can happen.

Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any related problems.

AdBlue Contamination

In Suffolk we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having 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 do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank can easily produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations very swiftly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}
