It was after 5 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and I were resting there commenting on the recent golf rankings, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Hacklinge and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat rental car. She was very affected apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to move the car to a protected position and, because it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging at.

Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Kent we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't start the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Hacklinge (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will fix the normal problems that may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
