It was just after seven pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the tennis rankings, waiting around for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Chislet and filled petrol in her diesel Vauxhall hire car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to get to the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and much less worried. One more job in Kent well done in my books!

We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Kent we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not being totally sure how to work with it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol may well result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Kent for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Chislet (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to handle any of the common troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Chislet - Chislet Wrong Fuel Doctor

A person called us from his place on a road in Chislet. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Nissan) is not running and is producing dreadful noises when I turn the ignition."

We were on scene quickly, did the drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he'd be certain to tell people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
