It was just before ten pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the recent sports results, waiting around for the next call that day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Barming Heath and put petrol in her diesel Honda lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, since it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to reach her quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Kent done well in my opinion!

Petrol in Diesel Barming Heath - Barming Heath Wrong Fuel

Our Areas of Expertise :

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Kent we have seen progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And certainly never start the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious issue to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will often cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations very easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank lying in the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Kent for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, providing we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.
