It was after 9 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring! Ryan and I were resting there talking over the recent tennis, prepared for the 8th job that day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in The Warren and put petrol in a diesel Suzuki lease car. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Kent done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competency :

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Kent we have seen a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Give us a call if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can easily result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in The Warren (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill the car. They can also deal with the typical problems that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel The Warren - The Warren Wrong Fuel

A couple of days ago a driver called us after his MG broke down along a road in The Warren. He had by mistake put petrol in the diesel vehicle and got so far as the road before needing to give up. It was yet early in the day and our engineer, who stays locally, got to him in about 20 minutes. We managed to remove the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your prompt response, particularly at 2 a.m., I appreciate it."
