It was close to ten pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's rugby, waiting for the 6th call for the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Temple Ewell and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Vauxhall rental by mistake. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was just a few minutes away from us, we could find the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Kent well done in my opinion!

Listed here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed if you may have put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? Adblue tends to be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly in cases where you have had the engine running with Adblue in the tank. Once the engine has been switched on the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into your fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, bringing about serious and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely don't start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. In the instance that you did start the car you will most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can certainly lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Got a fuel tank at the back of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.
