It was about six pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and me were resting there talking over the sports, at the ready for the next job for the day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Sherwood Park and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite affected it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe area and, because it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to find the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and less concerned. Another fuel drain in Kent done well in my opinion!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of people not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And absolutely take care not to crank the car - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of the garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Kent to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Sherwood Park (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill the car. They will be able to fix any of the common problems that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Sherwood Park - Sherwood Park Fuel Removal

I'd had a great evening cycling on my day off and was feeling satisfied the next day as I was en route to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Sherwood Park. They had broken down after inserting petrol into their Fiat, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady chastising her husband for actually being so confused. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing happens on a regular basis in Kent and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, nonetheless he all the same got an earful. Poor guy. In any case, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!
