It was just after five pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's rugby, prepared for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Mockbeggar and filled petrol in her diesel Dacia rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was very irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Kent done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Kent we have seen a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course never start up the motor - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases very quickly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank lying at the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a garage, providing we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Mockbeggar (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to deal with the normal issues which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Mockbeggar - Mockbeggar Wrong Fuel in Car

The other day a gentleman phoned us right after his SEAT cut out in the middle of a street in Mockbeggar. He had unintentionally put unleaded in his diesel motor and had managed to drive so far as the street before having to give up. It was early in the day and our technical engineer, who lives nearby, reached him in about a quarter hour. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel back in the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your prompt response, particularly at 2 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
