Our Services:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Kent we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And of course don't crank the car - not even to move it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances quite quickly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Kent to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Vehicle Misfuel Palmers Green - Palmers Green Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had appreciated a terrific evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a young family who were holidaying in Palmers Green. They conked out after inserting diesel in their Fiat, and were roughly half an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl telling her partner off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass frequently in Kent and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, even so he all the same had an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted farewell and wondered what my missus would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

This really was the graveyard shift. It was around 3:30am and nobody was about. It had become fairly uneventful thus far, and me and John were relaxing looking through several old newspapers. This was a rare quiet hour in Kent. It was so peaceful that when the telephone rang it made me jump! The person on the other end said: "I just concluded my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel Renault by mistake". I instructed him to tell us exactly where he was and we left, reaching him in Palmers Green not as much as an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the car and he thanked us for coming so fast. While we were coming back to the depot we saw two women at the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we got out and helped them change it, to their elation.

A gentleman phoned us from his home on a close in Palmers Green. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Lexus) is not starting up and is generating dreadful sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel car but then reckoned he would remedy the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to educate people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
