What a quality night of sleep! 7:30 on a bright Saturday and I was on my way to assist an old sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel Dacia in Southborough. She told us that she drove away from the filling station and stranded along a rural road on the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched into the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she said, "I am getting quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd only just acquired it a few days ago when my old one, which I had had for more than 25 years, eventually broke down". I finished the job and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Kent lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Southborough - Southborough Vehicle Misfuel

Yesterday a youngster telephoned us because his Mercedes stopped in the middle of a street in Southborough. He had by accident put unleaded in the diesel car and managed to drive as far as the road before needing to give up. It was really early in the day and our technical engineer, who stays not far away, got to him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, and in particular at 3 a.m., I truly appreciate it."

Our Areas of Competence :

We can help you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Kent we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course never start the car - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you did start the car you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can potentially lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases very expediently.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car.

Recent Fuel Drains in Southborough

Some reports:

I'm not necessarily very hot for working on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just come away from the wife and kids after a fantastic Sunday roast cooked by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a man who had filled the wrong petrol in his Nissan. He was somewhere in Southborough thus I arrived on scene soon. As I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused some damage because of starting it?" I explained that generally there shouldn't be any harm and also I would personally remove the contaminated fuel at once for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and one more satisfied motorist was able to continue on their travelling without the need for hassle. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what tends to make carrying out work on Sundays in Kent that tiny bit easier for me personally!

A gentleman who had unluckily put petrol in his diesel Smart contacted us for a fuel drain at the Texaco filling station in Southborough. He had decided to fill up before continuing on to the nearby caravan park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol as opposed to diesel which unfortunately wasn't a great way to start to our getaway." It was definitely no hassle at all for our engineer to go and carry out the fuel drain. We hope the family had a good getaway.
