It was just before five pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were sitting talking over the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the 8th call to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Hunters Forstal and filled petrol in her diesel Nissan rental car by mistake. The poor thing was very affected it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the woman quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and much less concerned.

Our Services:

Here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Kent we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it immediately. And certainly take care not to switch on the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. If you did start the car you would likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations quite easily.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container in the rear of your premises full of aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Kent to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Hunters Forstal (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the usual issues that could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Sincere kudos to you for your immediate response, and in particular at 3 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
