It was about 10 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Winchet Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan rental. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was just a few minutes from our van, we could get to her quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in Kent done well in my books!

Our Fields of Specialties:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Kent we have found increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can easily result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations quite swiftly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business premises in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Winchet Hill (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to refill your car or truck. They can also deal with any of the normal problems which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
