The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases rather expediently.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Northamptonshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages.

I had appreciated a fantastic afternoon cycling on my holiday and felt contented with myself the next working day as I set off to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Holdenby. They'd conked out after putting diesel into their cream Mercedes R-Class, and the car was close to an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this occurs constantly in Northamptonshire and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, however he still had an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove away I mouthed good bye and thought about what my wife would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

It truly was what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about dawn and noone was about. It was quite quiet thus far, and me and Ray were sitting about reading through a few old newspapers. It was an unusual quiet moment in Northamptonshire. Actually it was so calm that when my mobile ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist on the phone stated: "I just finished my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the red Nissan Pathfinder in error". I instructed him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was located and we left, arriving in Holdenby under 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleared from the car. He thanked us for arriving so rapidly. While we were coming back home we spotted two ladies on the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat. Obviously we pulled up to change it, to their delight.
