It was just after 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting going over the weekend's sports, waiting for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Printstile and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things do happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady right away.

Services We Give:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Kent we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by people not understanding the right way to work with it (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 directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely don't turn over the engine - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you have started the car you would most likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can certainly cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations very quickly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of the garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Printstile (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car. They will be able to take care of the normal issues which may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Printstile - Printstile Fuel Removal

I enjoyed a great evening hiking on my holiday and was feeling satisfied the next day as I set out to help a new couple who were on vacation in Printstile. They had conked out after inserting petrol in their SEAT, and they were close to an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed while I heard to the lady telling off her partner for turning out to be so silly. "How could you conceivably be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this problem happens constantly in Kent and that it's really nothing at all to get worried about, even so he all the same got an earful by his better half. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted goodbye and pondered on what my wife would do to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never hear the end of it!
