The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases pretty simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
