It was just after eight pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's football, waiting around for the sixth call to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Hartley Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart rental. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to get to her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Kent well done in my books!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to drivers not knowing the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly take care not to start the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a garage, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Hartley Green (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car. They will be able to fix the typical troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hartley Green - Hartley Green Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a perfect evening hiking during my holiday and was feeling contented the following morning as I set off to aid a new family on holiday in Hartley Green. They pulled over after adding diesel in their Renault, and were around half an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the woman telling her husband off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this goes on on daily basis in Kent and that it's nothing at all to stress about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed so long and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
