It was after six pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's footy, waiting for the next call of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Temple Ewell and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus lease car in error. She was fairly irritated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was only a few miles away from the office, we could find her right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Kent well done in my opinion!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Kent we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not knowing the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And absolutely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can potentially bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Got an old fuel container placed at the rear of your garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Kent to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we can empty it for you.

We can easily come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.
