Incorrect fuel in your car in Hammill? You've come to the right place. We are here to help you in this time of need and get you driving again with our specialist wrong fuel removal assistance.

It was before 10 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated commenting on the weekend's rugby results, ready for the next telephone call to come in. In due time we received a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Hammill and put petrol in her diesel Kia rental. The poor lady was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, since it was only a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Kent done well in my opinion!

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Kent we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of people not understanding the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you would likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank is going to cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying at the back of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Kent to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Hammill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up the car. They will be able to handle the usual troubles that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
