It was close to five pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated there talking about the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Petteridge and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai lease car. The poor lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a short distance from us, we could find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less concerned. Another job in Kent done well in my books!

Wrong Fuel in Car Petteridge - Petteridge Petrol in Diesel
Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and I was off to help an older lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus in Petteridge. I had been told she had driven away from the petrol station and was stranded in a country lane along the way to see her family. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour. I got to the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "I have been becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I had just purchased it a few days ago because my other one, which I had used for in excess of 30 years, finally died". I finished the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Kent lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Petteridge - Petteridge Wrong Fuel
I appreciated a perfect day cycling during my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I set off to aid a young couple away in Petteridge. They'd stopped after filling diesel in their Peugeot, and the car was approximately half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling off her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this situation happens on a regular basis in Kent and that it's in reality nothing to be anxious about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent by his wife. I felt sorry for the lad. At any rate, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved good bye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

Our Areas of Specialties:
These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:
AdBlue In your Fuel
In Kent we have discovered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.
So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.
Phone us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel may produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances rather easily.
You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}
Disposal of Waste Fuel
Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Kent to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.
Run Out of Fuel Support
Out of fuel in Petteridge (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also fix the common problems which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
Wrong Fuel Assist Petteridge - Petteridge Wrong Fuel
I had a wonderful evening golfing during the weekend and felt pleased the following morning as I set off to aid a young couple who were on vacation in Petteridge. They had broken down after filling petrol in their Dacia, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled as I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass on daily basis in Kent and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything had an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. At any rate, I drained all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove off I waved hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!

Reports from our own Petteridge personnel:
We performed a wrong fuel retrieval job near a beautiful property in Petteridge a few weeks ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and managed to virtually reach home when my car cut out." Our technician went out, even though it was pretty late at night, and did a thorough fuel drain and purge on the Porsche to everyone's satisfaction.
Fuel Drain Petteridge - Petteridge Fuel Removal
A driver from Petteridge with her children in her diesel Smart had filled her car with £50 of petrol at the service station. She phoned us weeping and really distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle . We assured her that all would be alright and that she would be ready to go very quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon brightened up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the little ones in the back."
