It was around ten pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were seated there talking over the rugby results, waiting around for the 8th job for the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Alkham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall hire car in error. She was rather affected apparently, stating "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things do happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from our van, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another job in Kent done well in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in case you may have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is made out of a blend of ionized water (67.5%) and urea (32.5%).It is definitely disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in your fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into your fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly problems to your car's fuel system.

In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And of course take care not to start the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In case you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will often produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances rather expediently.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

Vehicle Misfuel Alkham - Alkham Petrol in Diesel

Last week a customer telephoned us soon after his Porsche stopped working on a street in Alkham. He had accidentally put petrol in his diesel motor and got as far as the street before needing to give up. It was in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who stays close by, reached him in less than twenty minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 2 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
