It was just before five pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were sitting going over the weekend's tennis, ready for the next telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Lower Stoke and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Nissan rental car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty distressed apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and less stressed. One more job in Kent done well in my mind!

Below are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Kent we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel can potentially trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases fairly expediently.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Lower Stoke (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will fix any of the typical problems that may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Lower Stoke - Lower Stoke Fuel Drain

A while back a driver called us because his Jaguar died along a street in Lower Stoke. He had inadvertently put the wrong fuel in the diesel vehicle and drove to the street before being forced to pull over. It was really in the early hours of the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides close by, got to him in approximately 15 minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your immediate response, particularly at 2 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
