Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Stelling Minnis

If you've put petrol in your diesel car in Stelling Minnis (incorrect fuel Stelling Minnis) we are the company you need to get in touch with. We assist the whole of the Stelling Minnis vicinity and all bordering zones.

It was before five pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were resting there going over the weekend's footy results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Stelling Minnis and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover rental by mistake. She was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things sadly happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, because it was just a few miles from us, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and less apprehensive. One more job in Kent done well in my opinion!

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any related problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Kent we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not knowing the way to work with it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you get in this situation don?t fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases quite easily.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container lying at the rear of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Kent for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Stelling Minnis (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up the car. They are also able to fix any of the most common issues which can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
