It was after seven pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were seated commenting on the football, at the ready for the next call of the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Marshborough and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi rental in error. She was very irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Kent well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Kent we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel can result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations pretty easily.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial premises in Kent to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Marshborough (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your automobile. They will take care of the standard issues which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Marshborough - Marshborough Vehicle Misfuel

A man called us from Marshborough to say he had unfortunately piped the wrong fuel in his diesel Peugeot. "I can't believe it! How could I put unleaded in my lovely diesel car!" It took our technician about fifty minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel from the vehicle. He totally purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh diesel in the car. The customer was happy and it hadn't cost him car dealership prices to have the job professionally completed.
