It was about 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and me were relaxing discussing the recent golf, waiting for the 6th call that day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Strood and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda hire car in error. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, since it was only a short distance away from us, we could find her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was living at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. A job in Kent well done in my books!

Our assistance is fully mobile and we are able to come out no matter where you are and have the vehicle drained, cleansed and working just as before very quickly - and at an acceptable price!

Services We Provide:

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Kent we have seen increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not understanding the way to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the car.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel tank can potentially produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container in the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial properties in Kent for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Strood (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car. They can also deal with any of the normal problems which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Strood - Strood Fuel Rescue

A man called us from Strood to say he stupidly piped unleaded in to his diesel Porsche. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer roughly 50 minutes to completely drain the wrong fuel from the car. He completely flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was thrilled and it didn't cost him car dealership rates to have the job properly performed.
