It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on raining! James and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, ready for the next job for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Elvington and put petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental car by mistake. The poor lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to find her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and not so worried. One more job in Kent well done in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Kent we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And of course be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations pretty quickly.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container placed at the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Kent to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, as long as we can access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Elvington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill the car. They will be able to deal with any of the normal troubles which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
