It was just before 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the tennis results, prepared for the 6th job to arrive. In due time we received the call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Kemsley Street and put petrol in her diesel Fiat hire car in error. She was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe space and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in Kent well done in my mind!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Kent we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank is likely to cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations pretty simply.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Kent to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Kemsley Street (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will deal with any of the most common issues which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
