It was before six pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were seated talking over the weekend's golf results, prepared for the sixth call to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Littlestone-on-Sea and filled petrol in her diesel Volkswagen rental car. The poor lady was very affected apparently, crying "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly happen. She was able to move the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could get to her almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and not so worried. One more misfuel correction in Kent done well in my mind!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to proceed in case you?ve poured Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? It can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, specifically if you started the car with Adblue in the fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue is going to be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

If you find yourself in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts have the technical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can potentially bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and business 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. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we can empty it.
