It was just before 5 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were relaxing there talking about the golf results, waiting for the 6th call to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Mersham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Volvo hire car. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, because it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could find her quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and not so worried. One more job in Kent done well in my opinion!

Our Fields of Specialties: Services We Provide:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Kent we have found a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not knowing how to work with it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually just 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 does not work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly do not crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important condition to address in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel can lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Kent to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Mersham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They can also deal with any of the common troubles which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Mersham - Mersham Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon golfing during the weekend and felt contented with myself the next morning as I was on the way to help a new couple who were on vacation in Mersham. They had conked out after adding petrol in their BMW, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smirked as I listened to the woman telling off her spouse for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in Kent and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, but he still got an ear bashing by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. At any rate, I drained out all the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. As they drove off I mouthed goodbye and considered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
