It was just after six pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were resting commenting on the footy, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Gravesend and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ford lease car by mistake. The poor thing was quite affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!"

Listed below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it in case you may have poured Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution made of a mix of deionized water and urea (32.5%).It can be devastating to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be dragged into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And of course never crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel.
