It was just before 6 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting there going over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Summerfield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda rental car in error. She was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Kent well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Specialties: Services We Offer:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not being aware of how to work with it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases rather easily.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Summerfield (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with any of the most common troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Summerfield - Summerfield Petrol in Diesel
