It was close to 7 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting talking over the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in South Street and put petrol in a diesel Mercedes rental. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected area and, as it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. A fuel drain in Kent well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Kent we have encountered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from motorists not understanding how to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel will likely cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations quite simply.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Kent to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in South Street (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will be able to deal with the standard problems that can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel South Street - South Street Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a wonderful evening fishing during my holiday and was feeling pleased the next day as I was en route to help a young couple on holiday in South Street. They'd stopped after putting diesel into their Land Rover, and they were close to half an hour away. I emerged at their position and smirked as I listened to the woman berating her hubby for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Kent and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and thought about what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally never live it down!
