It was after 9 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were resting there talking over the recent football, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Paddock Wood and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very irritated apparently, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to get the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Kent well done in my mind!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

In Kent we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you find yourself in this scenario don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may well lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances rather easily.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial properties in Kent for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Paddock Wood (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will deal with any of the common issues that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Paddock Wood - Paddock Wood Wrong Fuel

A man had conked out just off a street in Paddock Wood. His Dacia car had ceased working and he'd no clue what was the problem till he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got virtually no sleep the night before and that could have been the reason why.
