It was close to 5 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not ceased raining! Mark and me were resting talking over the recent sports results, waiting for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Dartford and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Jaguar rental. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could find the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Kent well done in my mind!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.
AdBlue In Your Diesel
All over Kent we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.
Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.
If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it right away. And of course do not turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you would very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances very swiftly.
Take note though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.
Marine Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Got an old fuel container lying at the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Kent to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Now I am not necessarily so excited about doing work on weekends, and a week ago was the same. I had only just come away from the wife and kids filled with a magnificent lunch prepared for us by the wife, and I was on the way to deal with a guy who had put the incorrect petrol in his Mazda. He was somewhere in Dartford so I was there rapidly. As I arrived right behind the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my concentration on other stuff and failed to ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on problems through driving it?" I stated truth be told there probably should not be harm and also I'd personally drain the wrong fuel as soon as possible. Needless to say I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and so yet another satisfied customer had the ability to continue on his ride without the need for hassle. The guy couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is what makes working on Sundays in Kent just that tiny bit better to me!
