It was just after ten pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there talking about the recent football rankings, ready for the next job for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Chalk and filled petrol in her diesel MINI lease car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from us, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and not so anxious. Another job in Kent well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Kent we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course do not switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank may well trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying in the rear of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Chalk (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill the car. They can also take care of the standard troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Chalk - Chalk Wrong Fuel Drain

A customer had stopped off a road in Chalk. His Kia engine had stopped operating and he'd no clue what was awry right up until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had got zero sleep the day before and that could have been the reason.
