It was around 6 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing commenting on the recent rugby, at the ready for the sixth call for the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Paddock and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Suzuki rental car. The poor thing was very agitated apparently, crying "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few miles from us, we could arrive at her right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain in Kent done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Kent we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not knowing how to use it (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to switch on the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Paddock (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the usual troubles that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Paddock - Paddock Wrong Fuel

A man phoned us from Paddock saying he had foolishly pumped the wrong fuel in his diesel Skoda. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put petrol in my beautiful diesel car!" It only took our fuel drainer roughly 50 minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel out of the vehicle. He carefully flushed the fuel system and put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealership prices to get the task professionally done.
