It was before six pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting going over the golf rankings, waiting for the next call that day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Congelow and filled petrol in a diesel Mazda rental by mistake. She was very troubled apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to get the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from us, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Kent done well in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Kent we have discovered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And most definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is likely to cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations rather expediently.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Kent to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Congelow (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your vehicle. They will take care of the normal troubles which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Congelow - Congelow Petrol in Diesel

A guy had stopped just off a street in Congelow. His Hyundai motor had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was the problem right up until he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can not believe that I did not know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that could have been the key reason why.
