It was just after 9 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting talking over the footy rankings, at the ready for the next job for the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Newbury and put petrol in a diesel Porsche rental in error. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things can happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home relaxed and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Kent well done in my mind!

Our Services:

Below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Kent we have found increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And absolutely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can easily lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Newbury (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your automobile. They can also take care of any of the standard problems that could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Newbury - Newbury Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man had stopped just near a street in Newbury. His Kia car had stopped operating and he had no idea what was faulty right up until he realised he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he informed us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got absolutely no sleep the night before and that must have been why.
