It was just before 7 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting discussing the weekend's football rankings, prepared for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Meopham Station and put petrol in her diesel Fiat lease car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly distressed it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away contented and much less worried. One more job in Kent well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Kent we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it immediately. And of course be careful not to start the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel will cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases rather simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Kent for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Meopham Station (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill your car. They can also take care of any of the standard issues that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
