It was before ten pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were resting commenting on the weekend's footy, waiting for the seventh job of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in South Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Toyota hire car. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was only a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. A job in Kent well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

Listed here are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we are discovering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And obviously don't start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can potentially trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations very easily.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container at the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in South Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car or truck. They will handle any of the common issues that might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal South Green - South Green Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a terrific day hiking during my off day and was feeling cheerful the next working day as I was on the way to help a young family vacationing in South Green. They had conked out after adding diesel into their Mercedes, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled as I listened to the lady telling her spouse off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass everyday in Kent and that it's nothing to be concerned about, even so he still got his ear bent. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I drained the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!
