It was close to five pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were resting there discussing the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the 8th call for the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Broad Street and put petrol in a diesel Peugeot hire car. The unfortunate thing was very distressed it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to get the car to a safe position and, because it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could find the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Kent well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Kent we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations very simply.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Broad Street (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to take care of the normal troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
