It was close to 5 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and I were relaxing there discussing the tennis, waiting around for the 8th call to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Platts Heath and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda rental car by mistake. She was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Kent we have identified more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you get in this scenario don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank is likely to trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations pretty expediently.

Remember that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Platts Heath (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will handle the common troubles which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
