It was just before 8 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and I were sitting going over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Whitstable and filled petrol in a diesel Hyundai lease car. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and not so stressed. Another job in Kent well done in my opinion!

Do you or your drivers frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Kent we have seen increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from people not being totally sure the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly do not start up the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Whitstable (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up the car if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of any of the most common issues that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
