It was around 8 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's football, ready for the next call of the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Lower Halstow and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall rental car in error. She was somewhat affected it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we could find the woman swiftly.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Kent we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people being unsure of the way to to make use of (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely never start the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant situation to deal with in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases very expediently.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Kent to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it.

Petrol in Diesel Lower Halstow - Lower Halstow Wrong Fuel

I had appreciated a perfect day hiking on my afternoon off and was feeling pleased the next day as I was en route to help a young couple who were on holiday in Lower Halstow. They stopped after putting petrol in their Audi, and were about an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal telling her husband off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing goes on on a regular basis in Kent and that it's nothing to get worried about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor guy. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted good bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!
