It was just after 5 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting talking over the recent footy results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Rhodes Minnis and filled petrol in a diesel MINI lease car in error. She was fairly troubled it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected position and, as it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and much less concerned. One more job in Kent well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Kent we have identified increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously be careful not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Kent to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Rhodes Minnis (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill the car. They are also able to deal with any of the usual problems that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A gentleman had broken down near a road in Rhodes Minnis. His MG engine had stopped running and he'd no idea what was faulty till he realised he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten very little sleep the night before and that could have been the key reason why.
