Contaminated fuel Hildenborough? We can easily support the Hildenborough region extremely well due to the fact that one of our engineers stays in the neighborhood and is therefore not far from the action. If you've got petrol in your diesel car in Hildenborough we'll be glad to come out and do a complete fuel drain. Unleaded in diesel in Hildenborough isn't be a big crisis. We're merely a phone call away.

It was around five pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting discussing the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the seventh job of the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Hildenborough and filled petrol in her diesel Renault lease car. She was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe position and, as it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Kent done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Kent we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And certainly take care not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may well cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank at the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Kent to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Hildenborough (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the standard problems that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Hildenborough - Hildenborough Wrong Fuel in Car

Yesterday a gentleman contacted us soon after his MG ground to a halt along a street in Hildenborough. He had inadvertently put the wrong fuel in the diesel vehicle and drove as far as the road before having to pull up. It was in the early hours of the day and our technician, who resides close by, was with him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Sincere thanks to you for your prompt response, especially at 5 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
