It was just before five pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and me were sitting going over the weekend's golf, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Tilmanstone and put petrol in her diesel Mercedes hire car. The poor lady was quite agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, as it was just a few minutes from us, we could reach the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the hotel she was living at.

Our Areas of Specialties:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Kent we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not being aware of how to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it asap. And definitely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can easily produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases quite expediently.

Remember that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of your premises with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Tilmanstone (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to fix the typical troubles which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
