It was close to 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Ray and me were resting there talking over the weekend's golf results, waiting for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Tenterden and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen lease car. The poor thing was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, also that such things happen.

Wrong Fuel Tenterden - Tenterden Fuel Removal

I had appreciated a perfect day hiking during my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I was on the way to assist a new family on vacation in Tenterden.

I arrived at their car and smirked as I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this problem occurs continuously in Kent and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he still got an earful by his missus. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove away I mouthed farewell and considered what my wife would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I would never hear the end of it!

Our Areas of Specialties: Services Our Company Offers:

Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Kent we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not knowing the way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And absolutely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel.
