Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Harvel

Petrol in your diesel car or bike in Harvel? Thank you for visiting Wrong Fuel SoS. Phone us and enquire how we can help to get you up and running once more.

It was just after 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and me were sitting there going over the footy rankings, prepared for the 6th call for the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Harvel and put petrol in her diesel Renault rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to find her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. Yet another job in Kent done well in my books!

Fuel Removal Harvel - Harvel Fuel Drain

A gentleman phoned us from his house on a close in Harvel. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Mercedes) is not starting up and is generating terrible noises when I flip the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel. He said he would be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it drained right away.

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Kent we are identifying a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not knowing the way to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the car.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not crank the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases rather swiftly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Harvel (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to refill the car. They can also take care of any of the common problems that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Harvel - Harvel Vehicle Misfuel

This really was what is called the night shift. It was close to 2:30am and noone was around. It was rather dead until now, and me and John were relaxing reading through a few old articles. This was an unusual peaceful hour in Kent. It was indeed so relaxing that the moment the phone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The customer told me: "I've completed my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a Land Rover in error". I got him to let us know just where he was and we headed out, reaching him in Harvel no more than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the motor. He said many thanks for coming out so rapidly. As we were coming back to the office we noticed two young ladies at the side of the street who looked like they had a puncture. Obviously we stopped to change it, to their elation.
