It was around five pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the footy results, ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in New Barn and put petrol in a diesel Honda hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and less apprehensive.

Our Areas of Experience :

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Kent we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to crank the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases very quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed at the back of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in New Barn (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They will handle the normal troubles which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
