If you've got the wrong fuel in your car anywhere in Ashford we'll be glad to come out and do a comprehensive fuel drain. Petrol in diesel in Ashford need not be a big obstacle. We're simply a phone call away.

It was around 7 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting talking over the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Ashford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Fiat rental by mistake. The poor lady was pretty affected by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could find the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could get back to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and much less stressed. Yet another job in Kent done well in my books!

Provided Services: Our Specialties:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it if you have put Adblue in your Diesel tank? AdBlue is a liquid made from a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water.It is actually disastrous to your car's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be injected into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, resulting in disastrous and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never crank the motor - not even to shift it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises with old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Kent to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced 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 reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

We will help to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home.

They will take care of any of the typical troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Ashford - Ashford Wrong Fuel in Car

I'd had a fantastic afternoon fishing on my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a young family holidaying in Ashford. They'd broken down after adding diesel in their MG, and were around half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass everyday in Kent and that it's nothing to worry about, nonetheless he still had his ear bent. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove off I mouthed so long and pondered on what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!
