Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Kent we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not knowing how to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely do not turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Vehicle Misfuel Brompton - Brompton Wrong Fuel Assist

I had a wonderful day fishing during my holiday and felt contented with myself the following morning as I headed out to help a new family who were away in Brompton. They'd conked out after putting diesel in their Peugeot, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman telling off her man for being so stupid. "How could you even find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing takes place on a regular basis in Kent and that it is nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he yet still had an earful. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive off I waved so long and wondered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!
