It was around ten pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were resting there discussing the rugby rankings, ready for the 8th job of the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Cliffe and filled petrol in a diesel Nissan rental car. The poor lady was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, because it was only a few miles off from our van, we could reach the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in.

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your car? We can solve any associated problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Kent we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not understanding how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed at the back of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Kent to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Cliffe (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car if you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the normal issues which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

A man had conked out just off a road in Cliffe. His Dacia engine had ceased running and he had no idea what was wrong until eventually he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero rest the night before and that could have been why.
