It was close to seven pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing there going over the sports rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Buttsole and filled petrol in her diesel Toyota rental car by mistake. She was fairly irritated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and a lot less anxious. Yet another job in Kent done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Expertise:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists being unsure of how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant matter to deal with in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases pretty simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying in the rear of your garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business premises 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. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Buttsole (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to fix the usual troubles that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Buttsole - Buttsole Fuel Rescue

I'd had a terrific evening hiking during my day off and felt pleased the next day as I was on the way to assist a new family who were away in Buttsole. They conked out after putting petrol in their Honda, and were close to an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the woman telling her husband off for actually being so daft. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass quite frequently in Kent and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, but he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
