It was just before 5 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were sitting there discussing the recent footy results, waiting for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Challock and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and much less worried. A job in Kent done well in my mind!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Kent we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from people not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily correct all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank may contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations pretty simply.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Kent to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Challock (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They are also able to handle the standard issues that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
