It was about 10 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were resting commenting on the tennis, prepared for the sixth call that day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Knatts Valley and put petrol in a diesel MG lease car in error. She was very distressed it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, because it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could go home to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and much less anxious. A fuel drain in Kent well done in my opinion!

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

AdBlue In Diesel

In Kent we are identifying an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely do not turn over the car - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel may well produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Kent for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Knatts Valley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your car. They will handle any of the usual troubles that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Knatts Valley - Knatts Valley Vehicle Misfuel

A motorist had stopped just near a road in Knatts Valley. His Smart car had ceased functioning and he'd no clue what was faulty till he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten very little sleep the night before and that must have been the key reason why.
