We're just a call away.

It was about 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the recent footy results, ready for the 8th job to come in. Eventually we had the call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Kingsdown and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Audi hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things sadly can happen. She was able to move the car to a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Kent well done in my mind!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you should do in case you?ve put Adblue in a Diesel tank? Adblue can be disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, especially if you run the engine with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be squirted into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly harm to your automobile's fuel system.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you will likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Kent for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Kingsdown (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill your automobile. They can also take care of any of the usual troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
