We can help you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Kent we have seen more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not being aware of the way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't switch on the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you have started the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank at the back of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Snipeshill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your car. They can also take care of the normal troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Snipeshill - Snipeshill Wrong Fuel

I had enjoyed a wonderful day hiking on the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a new couple on vacation in Snipeshill. They had pulled over after inserting diesel into their Suzuki, and the car was about an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the lady berating her hubby for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass regularly in Kent and that it's truly nothing at all to stress about, but he all the same got an earful by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the very same error... I would personally never ever live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Snipeshill

Stories from our Snipeshill personnel:

Now I am certainly not excessively excited about working on weekends, and last week was no different. I had only just left the wife and kids after having a wonderful Sunday roast made for us by the better half, and I was en route to help a gentleman after he put the incorrect fuel in his Skoda. He was situated in Snipeshill thus I arrived with him before long. Just as I pulled up behind the car and started work he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on other considerations and didn't grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about problems by simply running it?" I said that generally there shouldn't be harm and that I would remove the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible. Needless to say I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and filled it with the suitable fuel, and so one more content customer could continue their ride with no hassle. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what helps make operating on weekends in Kent just a small bit easier in my opinion!

A lady from Snipeshill with a full car of little ones in her diesel Volkswagen had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Shell filling station. She contacted us sobbing and very worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and did not know what would happen to her vehicle . We assured her that everything would be alright and that she would be back in action in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the youngsters in the back."
