It was after five pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing commenting on the football results, prepared for the sixth call for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Yalding and put petrol in a diesel Jaguar rental car. She was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to move the car into a protected position and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home satisfied and less worried.

Our Areas of Competency :

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Kent we have discovered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to crank the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel is going to trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Kent to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Yalding (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They can also fix any of the typical problems that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Yalding - Yalding Fuel Drain

A gentleman had conked out just off a street in Yalding. His Suzuki car had ceased running and he had no idea what was wrong till he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten absolutely no rest the day before and that must have been the reason why.
