Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people being unsure of how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at once. And of course be careful not to start up the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel may well produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly expediently.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and business premises in Kent for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Gravesend (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the usual problems that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Gravesend, Kent

Wrong Fuel Doctor Gravesend - Gravesend Petrol in Diesel

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon cycling during the weekend and felt delighted the next working day as I was on the way to assist a young family on holiday in Gravesend. They'd broken down after putting diesel in their Kia, and the car was close to an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked as I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this situation comes to pass on a regular basis in Kent and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, however he in spite of everything got an earful by his wife. I felt sorry for the lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved so long and pondered on what my wife would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
