Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Hawkinge

If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Hawkinge (wrong fuel Hawkinge) we are the guys you need to speak to. We operate throughout the whole of the Hawkinge vicinity and all adjacent parts.

It was around 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were sitting commenting on the recent sports rankings, ready for the 8th call that day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Hawkinge and put petrol in her diesel Kia rental by mistake. She was very affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Kent well done in my books!

Our Areas of Experience :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Kent we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not being totally sure how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel can easily produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations rather simply.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Kent for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Hawkinge (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They can also handle any of the typical troubles which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Hawkinge - Hawkinge Fuel Rescue

A gentleman phoned us from his residence on a road in Hawkinge. He pronounced, "My car (a Dacia) is not starting and is making terrible sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would remedy the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We got there quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He said after that he would be sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.
