It was close to 7 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were seated there talking over the football results, prepared for the seventh call for the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Coombe and put the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very troubled it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at.

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Kent we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people not understanding the way to work with it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained asap. And absolutely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations pretty easily.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container sitting in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in Kent to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered 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 possibly even a few drums in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Coombe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of the common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.
