It was just after 6 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring! Ryan and I were sitting there talking over the rugby, ready for the next job for the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Sandwich and filled petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental by mistake. She was very agitated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to get the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could find the woman rather quickly.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Kent we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not crank the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. If you have started the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will often cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations fairly swiftly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container at the back of your premises containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Kent for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Sandwich (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They will be able to handle the common troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Sandwich - Sandwich Wrong Fuel Assist

A customer had conked out off a road in Sandwich. His Mazda car had stopped running and he had no clue what was the problem until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero rest the day before and that could have been the key reason why.
