Inevitably we had a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Upper Hale and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen hire car in error. She was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle!

Our Areas of Competence :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Surrey we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances very quickly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
