Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Broad Ford

If you've mistakenly put the wrong fuel in your car and now have to have the wrong fuel removed you are very likely scanning the net searching for a swift, reliable, competent and economical fuel drain company in Broad Ford or Kent. We are the service for you!

It was close to five pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's football results, ready for the next call for the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Broad Ford and put petrol in a diesel Jaguar hire car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from our van, we could get to the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Kent well done in my mind!

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Kent we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to start up the engine - not even to move it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can certainly produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations pretty expediently.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank in the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Kent for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Broad Ford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They can also deal with any of the standard problems that might accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.
