It was close to 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's footy rankings, prepared for the 8th call to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Millhall and filled petrol in a diesel Mazda lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things often happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected space and, since it was just a few miles off from us, we could get to the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. Another job in Kent well done in my books!

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Kent we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to work with it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can potentially result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations fairly expediently.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Kent for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Millhall (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car. They are also able to handle any of the common problems that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Millhall - Millhall Fuel Rescue

I had appreciated a perfect afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling satisfied the next day as I headed out to assist a young family who were holidaying in Millhall. They broken down after adding diesel in their Lexus, and they were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal telling her man off for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this happens on daily basis in Kent and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, even so he yet still got his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. While they drove away I mouthed so long and thought about what her indoors would tell me if I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
