It was just after 9 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were seated there talking about the footy, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Upchurch and filled petrol in her diesel Renault rental. The poor lady was rather troubled apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure spot and, because it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to get to the customer right away.

Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Kent we have identified an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure how to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the car.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And absolutely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases pretty easily.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.
