It was around 5 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting discussing the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Pettings and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Honda rental car in error. The poor thing was very affected it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected space and, since it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was staying in.

AdBlue Contamination

In Kent we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you discover youself to be in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the specialised skills and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Have a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.
