It was about eight pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting going over the weekend's football rankings, ready for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Shorne and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Renault rental in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Kent done well in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel may well produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations rather swiftly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even several drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Shorne (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the usual issues that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
