It was about 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and me were sitting there commenting on the rugby results, waiting around for the 8th job for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in The Lawe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan hire car in error. She was quite agitated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from the office, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly.

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any related problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Tyne and Wear we are finding a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will likely cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
