It was close to five pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting commenting on the recent rugby, ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Maxton and filled petrol in a diesel Fiat lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and much less stressed. A fuel drain in Kent done well in my opinion!

Services Our Company Offers:

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Kent we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel may produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances quite expediently.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying at the rear of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Kent for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Maxton (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They are also able to handle the usual issues which might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Maxton - Maxton Wrong Fuel in Car

I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon hiking on my holiday and felt contented with myself the following morning as I set out to aid a young couple away in Maxton. They had conked out after putting petrol into their Lexus, and the car was roughly half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed as I heard to the wife berating her husband for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this happens quite frequently in Kent and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, however he still got his ear bent. Poor boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I made the same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
