It was around eight pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were seated there discussing the recent tennis results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Clapper Hill and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota rental in error. The poor lady was fairly affected apparently, stating "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from the office, we could get to the customer right away. The bad fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying in.

Our Areas of Competence :

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And certainly do not start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the event that you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations very easily.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
