It was just before 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring! Dan and me were sitting discussing the football, waiting around for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Millhall and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen rental car by mistake. She was quite affected apparently, stating "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, since it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly 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 opinion!

Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue Contamination

What you can do in the event that you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue tends to be damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in your fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be pushed into your fuel lines and will quickly begin to crystalise, resulting in devastating and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely never start the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations pretty swiftly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and industrial premises in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Millhall (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the standard troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
