It was after 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! Ray and I were sitting going over the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the next fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Roseacre and filled petrol in a diesel Audi rental car in error. The poor lady was pretty irritated it seemed, crying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and a lot less stressed. Another job in Kent done well in my books!

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue Contamination

In Kent we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers not knowing the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely do not start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In case you have started the car you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank can potentially trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations fairly swiftly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Wrong Fuel Drain Roseacre - Roseacre Fuel Rescue

I had a great afternoon fishing on my off day and felt contented the following day as I headed out to assist a new couple on vacation in Roseacre. They had pulled over after putting diesel into their MINI, and were approximately an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed while I heard to the wife berating her man for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this problem takes place regularly in Kent and that it's in reality nothing at all to stress about, nonetheless he yet still got an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyways, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what my wife would say to me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
