It was close to 5 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were seated there going over the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Tonge Corner and put petrol in her diesel MG rental car in error. She was rather affected it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, since it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at her quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and much less anxious.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Kent we have seen a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important matter to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Kent to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Tonge Corner (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill up the car. They can also take care of any of the common issues that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
