It was after six pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent football results, prepared for the 6th job for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Lower Stoke and filled petrol in her diesel Porsche lease car. She was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we were able to reach the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and a lot less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Kent done well in my mind!

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any connected problems.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not start the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank will likely cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases quite easily.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank at the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a garage, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Lower Stoke (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the standard issues that might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
