It was just before 10 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and me were seated there commenting on the weekend's tennis, waiting around for the sixth job that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Gravesend and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault rental in error. The unfortunate thing was quite affected it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could reach the woman almost instantly.

Our Services:

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Kent we are finding progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank may well result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Kent to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Gravesend (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your vehicle.
