It was about five pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting there discussing the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the 8th job that day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Stockbury and filled petrol in her diesel BMW lease car. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was just a few miles from where we were, we could reach the lady almost instantly.

Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Kent we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly due to people being unsure of the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course be careful not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If you did start the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to deal with in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases rather easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Kent to take care of draining 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 reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, providing we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Stockbury (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your car. They will be able to handle the standard problems that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
