It was about 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in East Wickham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan hire car by mistake. She was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few miles from our van, we could get to her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and much less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Bexley done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Bexley we are discovering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations fairly easily.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container placed in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Bexley for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in East Wickham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Bexley Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to handle the typical issues that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel East Wickham - East Wickham Petrol in Diesel

A man had conked out just off a street in East Wickham. His Hyundai motor had stopped running and he'd no clue what was awry until eventually he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got no sleep the day before and that could have been why.
