It was about 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Stelling Minnis and put petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental. She was very distressed apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Kent done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in case you?ve poured Adblue in a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made out of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%).It is actually harmful to your automobile's fuel system, particularly in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. Once the engine has been started the Adblue will be dragged into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, leading to serious and costly damage to your car's fuel system.

In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely take care not to turn over the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your petrol or diesel will lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases fairly quickly.

Bear in mind though that as 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 old one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container laying at the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Kent for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Stelling Minnis (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of the common troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Stelling Minnis - Stelling Minnis Wrong Fuel Drain

I'd had a fantastic day fishing on my day off and felt satisfied with myself the next working day as I set off to help a young family who were on vacation in Stelling Minnis. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel into their Lexus, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the wife telling off her hubby for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place quite frequently in Kent and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he yet still got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed good bye and wondered what my missus would say to me if ever I made the very same blunder... I'd personally never live it down!
