It was after 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated discussing the golf, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Lowestoft and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, also that such things often happen. She managed to get the car into a protected space and, as it was only a few miles away from the office, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and not so stressed.

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Suffolk we are discovering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the car.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you discover youself to be in this situation don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the practical knowledge and working experience to have 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 unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can certainly result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
