Finally we got a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Penarth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Volvo rental car in error. The poor lady was very distressed it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!"

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Vale of Glamorgan we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Whenever you end up in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical skills and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel may well bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.
