It was about 5 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were relaxing going over the recent tennis rankings, ready for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Baffins and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda hire car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle!

Our Services:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

How to proceed in case you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? It can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially any time you run the engine with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be pushed into the fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And certainly be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking place. If you did start the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can certainly trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty quickly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}
