Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Great Chilton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately often happen.

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In County Durham we have seen an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you get in this predicament don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the specialised know-how and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can easily result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases quite expediently.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

We showed up promptly, performed the drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he'd be absolutely sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained promptly.
