Incorrect fuel in your car in Chartham? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this hour of need and get you going once again with our expert wrong fuel removal assistance.

It was close to six pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were sitting talking about the recent football results, prepared for the sixth job that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Chartham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental car in error. The poor lady was somewhat irritated it seemed, crying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and less concerned. A misfuel correction in Kent well done in my opinion!

Below are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Kent we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course do not turn over the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations quite easily.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and business properties in Kent to take care of removing 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. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Chartham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to refill the car. They are also able to handle the standard issues that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
