Wrong Fuel in Car Coldred, Kent

Our Areas of Experience :

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Kent we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find yourself in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical competence and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases pretty swiftly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container at the back of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned 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 remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Coldred (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They can also take care of any of the standard issues which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Coldred - Coldred Wrong Fuel in Car

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon hiking on the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Coldred. They had stopped after adding petrol in their Lexus, and the car was around an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled as I heard to the woman chastising her hubby for being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass all the time in Kent and that it's actually nothing to fret about, even so he all the same had an earful. Poor lad. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I waved goodbye and considered what my wife would do to me if I made the exact same blunder... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

Recent Fuel Drains in Coldred

Tales from our Coldred team:

We were called by a gentleman whose Hyundai had conked out on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I got the pumps mixed up and pumped the wrong fuel in my car . You came out and fixed the problem after my vehicle gave up." We drained the wrong fuel from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel lines thoroughly afterwards and the motorist was able to continue with his deliveries.

Wrong Fuel Coldred - Coldred Wrong Fuel Assist

A young lady from Coldred with her kids in her diesel Audi had put £45 of petrol at the Co Op station. She phoned us sobbing and genuinely worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and did not know what might happen to her car because of it. We told her that all would be okay and that she would be ready to go soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the children in the back."
