It was close to 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on raining! James and I were relaxing there going over the recent golf, ready for the next job that day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Chestnut Street and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MG hire car. The unfortunate lady was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe space and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Kent done well in my books!

Do you or your drivers often misfuel your car? We can fix any connected issues.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Kent we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. In case you have started the car you may probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank may contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances very simply.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Kent to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, as long as we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Chestnut Street (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service.

Wrong Fuel in Car Chestnut Street - Chestnut Street Wrong Fuel

I had a wonderful day fishing during my day off and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I was en route to aid a new family who were holidaying in Chestnut Street. They pulled over after putting petrol into their MG, and the car was approximately an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked as I heard to the wife chastising her partner for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this problem comes to pass quite frequently in Kent and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an earful. Poor guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what my wife would ask me if ever I made the same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
