We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do if you may have put Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is made of a mixture of ionized water (67.5%) and urea.Adblue tends to be devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and expensive problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly take care not to crank the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel will likely cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances rather easily.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
