It was just after 6 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were relaxing there talking over the recent footy rankings, waiting for the seventh call that day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Highsted and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MG rental. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this happen. She was able to move the car into a safe position and, since it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to arrive at her right away.

One more fuel drain in Kent well done in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do in the event that you?ve poured Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? It can be disastrous to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be pushed into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, triggering serious and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly don't start up the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Vehicle Misfuel Highsted - Highsted Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a wonderful evening golfing on the weekend and felt delighted with myself the following working day as I headed out to assist a young couple away in Highsted. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their Lexus, and were about an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl berating her spouse for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this situation comes to pass continuously in Kent and that it's nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he yet still got an earful by his better half. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would do to me if ever I made the same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
