It was close to seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were resting there discussing the golf results, waiting for the sixth call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in West Hougham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi rental car in error. The poor thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could get to her quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Kent well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in case you?ve put Adblue into your Diesel fuel tank? It is certainly damaging to your car's fuel system, specifically in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't crank the car - not even to shift it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will often contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases very simply.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Kent to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in West Hougham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to fix any of the normal troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
