It was just before 5 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were resting talking over the tennis rankings, prepared for the 8th job for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Tilmanstone and filled petrol in a diesel Volvo rental car in error. She was rather agitated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Kent well done in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Kent we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel may well lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases quite quickly.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir in the back of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Kent for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Tilmanstone (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill your car. They can also deal with the most common problems which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Tilmanstone - Tilmanstone Fuel Rescue

I'd had a wonderful day fishing during my off day and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I set off to assist a young family who were on holiday in Tilmanstone. They pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their Lexus, and they were close to an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smiled while I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this situation happens on a regular basis in Kent and that it is nothing to worry about, however he in spite of everything had an earful by his better half. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted good bye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!
