It was just after ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and me were sitting talking about the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Medhurst Row and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite affected apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, because it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and much less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Kent well done in my opinion!

Services We Deliver:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Kent we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not knowing how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And absolutely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking place. In case you have started the car you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank may cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases fairly easily.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Kent for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Medhurst Row (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They will handle any of the most common troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Medhurst Row - Medhurst Row Wrong Fuel in Car

A week ago a motorist phoned us just after his Land Rover broke down in the middle of a road in Medhurst Row. He had mistakenly put the incorrect fuel in the diesel motor and got so far as the street before being forced to stop. It was still in the early hours of the day and our technician, who resides nearby, was with him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back into the vehicle. "Many thanks to you for your timely response, especially at 3 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
