We're simply a phone call away.

It was just before five pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were seated there going over the recent footy rankings, ready for the sixth call of the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Mowshurst and put petrol in her diesel Ford rental car by mistake. She was fairly troubled apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could find her right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and less concerned. Another fuel drain in Kent done well in my books!

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Kent we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it asap. And certainly never crank the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will likely trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances quite quickly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Kent for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Mowshurst (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will take care of any of the usual troubles that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Mowshurst - Mowshurst Petrol in Diesel

It was still early in the morning and our technician, who resides nearby, arrived with him in about 10 minutes. We managed to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back into the vehicle. "Sincere thanks to you for your timely response, especially at 1 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
