It was before 10 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were sitting talking about the recent football rankings, prepared for the next job for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Waterham and put petrol in her diesel Citroen rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Kent well done in my opinion!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Kent we are finding a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not knowing how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Kent to take care of taking away 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 reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Waterham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your car. They can also take care of the standard issues which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Waterham - Waterham Fuel Drain

A week ago a customer telephoned us after his Land Rover died in the middle of a road in Waterham. He had mistakenly put unleaded in his diesel motor and had managed to drive to the street before having to halt. It was really early in the day and our engineer, who resides not far away, arrived with him in less than 20 minutes. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your timely response, especially at 2 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
