It was around 9 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were resting going over the recent football results, prepared for the next telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Welling and filled petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental car by mistake. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Bexley done well in my opinion!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Bexley we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not knowing the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely do not turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations quite quickly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Bexley for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Welling (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Bexley Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill the car. They will be able to deal with the usual troubles which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
