It was close to 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were relaxing there discussing the golf results, ready for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Highsted and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was very affected it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the car into a secure space and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could find the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and less worried.

Offered Services:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Kent we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not understanding the way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely do not start the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If you have started the car you may very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol can contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations pretty easily.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Kent to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Highsted (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car. They can also fix the typical issues which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Highsted - Highsted Wrong Fuel Assist

A person phoned us from his house on a close in Highsted. He explained, "My car (a Lexus) is not starting and is producing awful sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would fix the issue by putting extra Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He said after that he would be certain to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
