It was around eight pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting commenting on the recent football, ready for the 6th job of the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Stockbury and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Skoda hire car in error. The poor thing was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing as it was just a short distance from the office, we could find the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and not so anxious.

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in the event that you may have put Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical made from a mix of deionized water and urea.Adblue can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you started the car with Adblue in the diesel fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be pushed into the fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, bringing about devastating and expensive problems to your automobile's fuel system.

In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances very quickly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Kent to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Stockbury (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up the car. They will be able to deal with any of the standard issues which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.
