It was before eight pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated discussing the recent rugby, prepared for the 8th job to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Fordcombe and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was just a few minutes from us, we could arrive at her without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and much less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Kent well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise: Services Our Company Offers:

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in the event that you may have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue can be harmful to your car's fuel system, especially if you have had the engine running with Adblue in your tank. The moment the engine has been started up the Adblue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive problems to your car's fuel system.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely be careful not to start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can potentially contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances rather swiftly.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Fordcombe (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) and refill your car. They will fix any of the common issues that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Fordcombe - Fordcombe Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a great day hiking during my afternoon off and was feeling pleased with myself the next working day as I headed out to aid a young family on vacation in Fordcombe. They conked out after filling diesel in their Volkswagen, and they were approximately an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling off her spouse for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you even find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass constantly in Kent and that it's really nothing at all to fret about, nevertheless he still got an earful by his missus. I felt sorry for the lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted goodbye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I made the very same error... I'd personally never live it down!
