It was about eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's tennis, waiting for the 6th job that day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Oversland and put the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW hire car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat affected apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected area and, because it was no more than a few miles from us, we could find her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and not so anxious. Yet another job in Kent done well in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Kent we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely don't start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases pretty quickly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Oversland (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home.

Wrong Fuel Drain Oversland - Oversland Wrong Fuel Assist

A customer phoned us from his place on a close in Oversland. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Mazda) is not starting and is making very bad sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then thought he would solve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he would be certain to advise people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
