It was just before 7 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were seated there discussing the recent footy, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Hicks Forstal and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, because it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. Another job in Kent well done in my books!

Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Kent we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not being aware of how to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you did start the car you will probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel can contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances quite expediently.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Kent to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hicks Forstal (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will be able to take care of any of the standard problems which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Hicks Forstal - Hicks Forstal Petrol in Diesel

A guy had stopped just off a street in Hicks Forstal. His Nissan motor had stopped working and he'd no idea what was the problem until eventually he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten zero rest the night before and that could have been the reason.
