It was about ten pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting talking over the recent sports, prepared for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Frindsbury and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda lease car. The poor lady was very agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this can happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected spot and, since it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and less stressed. A fuel drain in Kent well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Kent we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously do not turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is going to produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Kent to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced 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 an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Frindsbury (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will take care of the most common troubles which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Frindsbury - Frindsbury Fuel Drain

A gentleman called us from his home on a road in Frindsbury. He pronounced, "My car (a Jaguar) is not starting up and is creating awful sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car however believed he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He told us that he would be certain to inform people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it drained promptly.
