It was after seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were resting there discussing the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Willesborough and filled petrol in her diesel Vauxhall rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. A job in Kent done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

In Kent we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not knowing how to to make use of (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases rather quickly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Kent for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Willesborough (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They will handle any of the typical troubles that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
