It was close to 7 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing there going over the footy, waiting around for the 6th job that day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Waterman Quarter and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda rental in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could return to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Kent well done in my opinion!

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a warm Tuesday and I was off to help an elder woman after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Smart in Waterman Quarter. I had been told she drove away from the petrol station and broken down along a country road on the way to see her family. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was working she said, "Now I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel as I had just got it a couple of days ago when my former one, which I had used for in excess of thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Kent woman!

Fuel Removal Waterman Quarter - Waterman Quarter Fuel Removal
I had appreciated a fantastic day hiking on my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the following working day as I set off to assist a new couple holidaying in Waterman Quarter. They'd broken down after filling petrol into their Peugeot, and they were approximately an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the wife chastising her husband for actually being so stupid. "How could you actually find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing goes on continuously in Kent and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he all the same had an ear bashing by his missus. Poor guy. Anyway, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed farewell and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

AdBlue In your Fuel
In Kent we have identified a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the automobile.
So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol may produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases fairly easily.
Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Wrong Fuel Waterman Quarter - Waterman Quarter Wrong Fuel
A woman from Waterman Quarter with her children in her diesel Volkswagen had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the Shell filling station. She phoned us weeping and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that all should be okay and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we got there she was visible distressed but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the kids on board."
