A customer stopped on a street in Folkestone required a fuel drain roughly a month back. His MG was stopped on the side of the road after he had put in the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he rang us but a little worried to move his car out of the road as he was triggering some traffic. We were on scene in fifteen minutes seeing that our technician was in neighbouring Folkestone and had completed a fuel drain. He said, "I can't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and broke down here! My car was coughing I simply needed to pull over and then it died."

AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And of course do not crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the back of the garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Kent to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Folkestone (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill the car. They will be able to fix the common problems which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Folkestone - Folkestone Wrong Fuel Assist

Last friday a youngster called us right after his Skoda stopped in the middle of a street in Folkestone. He had accidentally put petrol in the diesel motor and drove to the street before having to pull over. It was still early in the day and our fuel drainer, who resides close by, got to him in about fifteen minutes. We managed to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel once again in to the vehicle. "Thank you for your timely response, especially at 5 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
