It was just before 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased pouring! Ryan and I were seated commenting on the football results, prepared for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Faversham and put petrol in a diesel Skoda rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from us, we could reach the woman quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and much less stressed. A job in Kent well done in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Kent we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it asap. And definitely do not start up the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you have started the car you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations quite quickly.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your premises with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in Kent to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Faversham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to fill your car. They will be able to handle the usual problems that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Faversham - Faversham Fuel Drain

A man had broken down off a street in Faversham. His Nissan motor had ceased functioning and he'd no clue what was faulty until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got absolutely no rest the evening before and that could have been the reason why.
