It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated there commenting on the recent golf rankings, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Hale and put petrol in a diesel Citroen rental car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat affected it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure spot and, as it was no more than a short distance away from us, we were able to get to her without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got really wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less anxious. A misfuel correction in Kent done well in my books!

Services Our Company Offers:

Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Kent we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to people being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And most certainly never start the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel will often trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Wrong Fuel Hale - Hale Wrong Fuel Doctor

A gentleman had broken down near a street in Hale. His Suzuki engine had stopped working and he had no clue what was the problem until eventually he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got absolutely no rest the day before and that must have been the reason why.
