Wrong Fuel in Car The Corner, Kent

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in The Corner

If you've put petrol in your diesel car in The Corner (wrong fuel The Corner) we are the people you need to speak to. We operate throughout the entirety of the The Corner territory and all bordering parts.

It was around seven pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in The Corner and filled petrol in a diesel SEAT lease car in error. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to find her quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got very drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Kent well done in my books!

Below are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Kent we have encountered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you end up in this situation don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Kent for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Fuel Removal The Corner - The Corner Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a great day cycling during my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the next day as I was on the way to aid a new couple who were on vacation in The Corner. They had stopped after adding petrol into their MG, and the car was roughly half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the woman telling off her husband for being so daft. "Precisely how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this occurs on a regular basis in Kent and that it's in reality nothing to worry about, nonetheless he all the same got an ear bashing. Poor chap. In any case, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what my missus would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!
