It was just after 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's rugby results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Upper Harbledown and filled petrol in her diesel Fiat lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and much less anxious. Another fuel drain in Kent done well in my mind!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:
AdBlue In Diesel
In Kent we are finding increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not knowing the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.
Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And absolutely don't crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases quite expediently.
Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Have an old fuel tank sitting in the rear of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Kent to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we can empty it.
Out of Fuel Service
Out of fuel in Upper Harbledown (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car.
