It was before 8 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing there talking about the recent golf, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Upchurch and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault rental car by mistake. The poor thing was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to reach the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and not so anxious. Another job in Kent well done in my books!

We are all set to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Kent we have noticed more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important issue to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may well trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container sitting in the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Kent to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Upchurch (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your automobile. They can also take care of the normal issues which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Upchurch - Upchurch Fuel Rescue

A gentleman rang us from his house on a street in Upchurch. He pronounced, "My car (a Renault) is not running and is creating terrible sounds when I turn the key." He said that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would remedy the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We got there quickly, did the fuel drain and filled it up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us he would be sure to inform people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
