It was about 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were resting there talking about the recent sports results, at the ready for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Wellers Town and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot lease car. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to move the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to reach the customer right away. The wrong fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and not so anxious.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any related issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Kent we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not knowing how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you have started the car you may likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases rather easily.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Kent for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Wellers Town (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car. They are also able to handle the standard problems that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
