It was after 7 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the seventh call that day to come in. Finally we had the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Stone in Oxney and filled petrol in her diesel MINI rental car. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from us, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and much less anxious. One more job in Kent done well in my books!

Our Areas of Specialties:

We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

In Kent we have discovered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not being totally sure how to use it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations pretty swiftly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated 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 motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed at the rear of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Stone in Oxney (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will deal with any of the normal issues that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A customer had broken down just off a street in Stone in Oxney. His Honda car had ceased running and he'd no idea what was awry right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle.
