Our technician was called to a petrol station in Maidstone when a lady misfueled her BMW by putting petrol in her diesel vehicle.

As we had stated she was exactly that, but also insisted on stating: "Your business is incredibly service oriented, I'm very happy that my vehicle is okay," and that she'd suggest us to anybody.

Services We Deliver:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not knowing how to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances quite simply.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container laying in the back of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Maidstone (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road 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 (purchased at cost) and fill your vehicle. They can also handle any of the standard troubles that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Maidstone - Maidstone Wrong Fuel in Car

A customer rang us from his home on a street in Maidstone. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a SEAT) is not running and is producing awful sounds when I turn the key." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us he'd be sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
