It was around 5 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting commenting on the recent golf rankings, waiting for the 8th telephone call to come in. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Eastchurch and put the wrong fuel in her diesel MG lease car by mistake. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was just a few minutes from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and less worried. A misfuel correction in Kent done well in my books!

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Kent we are encountering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And certainly take care not to start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking place. If you have started the car you may most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Kent for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Out of fuel in Eastchurch (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.
