Our Areas of Expertise :

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

In Suffolk we have seen more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not being totally sure how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank will likely lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases rather swiftly.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Wrong Fuel Assist Westhorpe - Westhorpe Vehicle Misfuel

I had enjoyed a terrific evening hiking during my day off and was feeling contented with myself the following day as I was on the way to help a young family on vacation in Westhorpe. They pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their Skoda, and were roughly half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smiled as I listened to the lady berating her partner for actually being so confused. "How could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this goes on continuously in Suffolk and that it's nothing to stress about, nevertheless he yet still got his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what my wife would do to me if I made the very same blunder... I would never ever hear the end of it!
