Wrong Fuel in Car Tonge Corner, Kent

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Tonge Corner

If you've mistakenly put the completely wrong fuel in your car and right now need to have the wrong fuel removed you are very likely scanning the internet hunting for a swift, reliable, qualified and economical fuel drain company in Tonge Corner or Kent. We are the people for your needs!

It was about six pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were sitting discussing the recent footy rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Tonge Corner and filled petrol in a diesel Volvo hire car by mistake. The poor lady was rather distressed apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Kent done well in my opinion!

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Kent we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And absolutely be careful not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases quite quickly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir at the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Tonge Corner (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will take care of any of the normal problems which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Tonge Corner - Tonge Corner Fuel Drain

A man contacted us from his place on a street in Tonge Corner. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Jaguar) is not starting and is generating very bad sounds when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then believed he would resolve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up once again with untainted Diesel. He said after that he would be sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it drained immediately.
