It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in The Harbour and filled petrol in a diesel Mazda rental car in error. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and not so worried. A fuel drain in Kent done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Kent we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to address in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container lying in the back of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Kent to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in The Harbour (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car. They will handle any of the most common issues which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist The Harbour - The Harbour Wrong Fuel in Car

A person rang us from his residence on a street in The Harbour. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Ford) is not running and is generating terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He told us that he'd be certain to educate people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
