It was around 6 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and me were relaxing discussing the football results, at the ready for the sixth call that day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Bedgebury Cross and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Peugeot lease car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things sadly do happen. She managed to move the car into a safe area and, as it was just a short distance away from us, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and much less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Kent well done in my mind!

Provided Services: Our Specialties:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Kent we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never start up the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is going to cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances very easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Kent to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Bedgebury Cross (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to handle the normal troubles which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Bedgebury Cross - Bedgebury Cross Petrol in Diesel

A motorist had stopped just near a street in Bedgebury Cross. His Kia motor had ceased working and he had no clue what was the problem until eventually he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got no sleep the night before and that could have been the key reason why.
