It was just before five pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated talking about the recent football, prepared for the 6th fuel drain to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Noahs Ark and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai hire car by mistake. The poor thing was very agitated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Kent well done in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Kent we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the car.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely never start the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will often contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances quite simply.

You should know that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank in the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Kent for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Noahs Ark (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will handle any of the usual issues which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
