It was just after eight pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not given up on raining! Brian and me were relaxing commenting on the golf, waiting for the 8th call that day to come in. Before long we got the call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Cheriton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart lease car in error. The poor lady was pretty distressed it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Kent done well in my mind!

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in the event that you have poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made of a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water.Adblue is certainly harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with Adblue in the diesel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be pushed into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, causing catastrophic and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most certainly never start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol will often bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel.
