It was after 5 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were sitting talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Chilham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Toyota lease car. The unfortunate thing was very troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things often happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe space and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could go home to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and less concerned. One more fuel drain in Kent well done in my books!

Our Areas of Expertise :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Kent we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from people not understanding how to to make use of (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you get in this position don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may well cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases pretty quickly.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Kent for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.
