It was close to 10 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were resting discussing the recent tennis rankings, ready for the 8th job that day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Eythorne and filled petrol in a diesel Suzuki lease car by mistake. She was pretty distressed it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from the office, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Kent done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we have found increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely take care not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Fuel Drain Eythorne - Eythorne Vehicle Misfuel

I had a terrific afternoon golfing on the weekend and felt pleased with myself the following working day as I was en route to assist a young couple vacationing in Eythorne. They'd broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their Citroen, and they were around an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled as I listened to the wife chastising her man for being so confused. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass quite frequently in Kent and that it's in reality nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he all the same got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. At any rate, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove off I shouted hasta la vista and considered what my missus would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
