It was close to 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's golf results, at the ready for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Elvington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG hire car in error. She was rather irritated apparently, crying "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to find her quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off contented and much less stressed. A fuel drain in Kent well done in my books!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the event that you end up in this situation don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised know-how and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations fairly easily.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying in the back of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Elvington (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to take care of any of the standard problems that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Elvington - Elvington Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a terrific day fishing on the weekend and felt pleased the next day as I headed out to assist a young couple who were on holiday in Elvington. They stopped after inserting petrol into their Mercedes, and they were about half an hour away. I arrived at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the gal telling off her man for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing takes place quite frequently in Kent and that it's in reality nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he yet still got an earful. Unlucky guy. At any rate, I drained the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove away I shouted good-bye and considered what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!
