It was just before ten pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting talking over the recent football rankings, ready for the sixth telephone call to arrive. In due time we received a call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Broad Street and put petrol in her diesel Peugeot lease car in error. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to her right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A job in Kent done well in my books!

Our Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we have found an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely do not turn over the car - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Broad Street (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the common troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Broad Street - Broad Street Vehicle Misfuel

The other day a man called us just after his Kia cut out in the middle of a road in Broad Street. He had by mistake put the incorrect fuel in the diesel car and got as far as the street before needing to give up. It was early in the day and our fuel drainer, who resides locally, reached him in about a quarter hour. We were able to remove the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel once again into the car. "Thank you for your prompt response, and in particular at 6 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
