Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Chipstable and put the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things sadly happen.

Our Areas of Expertise :

Listed here are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in case you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? It can be disastrous to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started up the Adblue will be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, bringing about devastating and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is likely to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel.
