Wrong Fuel in Car Rainham, Kent

Services We Offer:

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Kent we have seen an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to turn over the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the event that you have started the car you will almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations fairly easily.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container in the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Rainham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will handle the typical troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Recent Fuel Drains in Rainham

Tales from our Rainham team:

We were called by a man whose Citroen had broken down on a street after a misfuel. "I got the pumps mixed up and pumped petrol instead of diesel in my car in error. You guys arrived and sorted out the problem when my vehicle stopped." We drained the petrol from the diesel tank and flushed the engine completely afterwards and the motorist could then carry on with his deliveries.

Vehicle Misfuel Rainham - Rainham Wrong Fuel Assist

A motorist driving in Rainham contacted us shortly after she had tried to get her misfueled car to the office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Mercedes and, like plenty before her, assumed that she would be able to simply fill up the car with diesel and it'd be fine. The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she reached the the front of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and had it resolved in an hour whilst she was in the office. She came out soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm really glad you repaired my car."
