It was around 10 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated talking about the weekend's football results, waiting around for the seventh call of the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Strood and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat rental car. She was rather irritated apparently, stating "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to find the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and not so stressed. One more misfuel correction in Kent done well in my opinion!

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Should you discover youself to be in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel will often lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

Remember however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and business premises in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered 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 even several drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Strood (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the most common troubles which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Strood - Strood Wrong Fuel

I'd had a fantastic evening golfing during the weekend and was feeling contented the following working day as I set out to aid a young family who were on holiday in Strood. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel into their MINI, and the car was around half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing goes on quite frequently in Kent and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky guy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed farewell and thought about what my missus would say to me if ever I made the same error... I'd personally never ever live it down!
