It was close to 8 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were sitting going over the tennis, waiting for the next job to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Ratling and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things sadly can happen.

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Kent we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Any time you get in this position don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the specialised skills and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}
