Wrong Fuel in Car Postling, Kent

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Postling

If you've put the incorrect fuel in your car in Postling (petrol in diesel Postling) we are the people you need to call. We operate throughout the entirety of the Postling territory and all adjacent zones.

It was just before eight pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were resting there commenting on the recent footy results, ready for the sixth job for the day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Postling and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental car. The unfortunate lady was quite affected it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to her right away. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. A job in Kent well done in my mind!

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

How to handle it in case you have poured Adblue into a Diesel tank? It is certainly disastrous to your car's fuel system, particularly if you run the engine with Adblue in your tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the Adblue is going to be dragged into the fuel lines and will swiftly start to crystalise, triggering devastating and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

Contact us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations rather quickly.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have 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 garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Kent to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Postling (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your vehicle. They can also fix any of the standard issues which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Postling - Postling Vehicle Misfuel

The other day a gentleman called us when his Nissan stopped working on a road in Postling. He had inadvertently put the wrong fuel in the diesel vehicle and drove as far as the street before having to give up. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who resides locally, got to him in about 20 minutes. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Thank you for your immediate response, particularly at 3 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
