It was after 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the golf, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Benover and put petrol in a diesel Renault hire car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, as it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and much less stressed. A job in Kent done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

Listed here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Kent we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank is likely to lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases quite swiftly.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Benover (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will be able to handle the typical problems that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Benover - Benover Vehicle Misfuel

A customer had broken down just off a street in Benover. His Dacia engine had ceased running and he'd no idea what was awry right up until he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten no rest the day before and that must have been precisely why.
