Vehicle Misfuel Ham - Ham Wrong Fuel
I'd had a wonderful afternoon golfing on my day off and was feeling contented with myself the next morning as I set off to aid a young family on holiday in Ham. They stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their Lexus, and the car was roughly an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I listened to the lady chastising her man for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this happens regularly in Kent and that it's in reality nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he yet still had an earful by his better half. Unfortunate boy. At any rate, I removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would tell me if I made the same mistake... I'd never hear the end of it!

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our clients.
AdBlue In Diesel
All around Kent we are noticing an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not knowing how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the car.
So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel may well result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances very easily.
You should know though that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
