The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations pretty quickly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.
