It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there discussing the golf results, waiting for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Westwood and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Suzuki lease car. The poor thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, since it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Kent done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Kent we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will often produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases pretty simply.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying in the back of your premises with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Westwood (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) and fill up your car. They will be able to fix any of the normal problems that can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Westwood - Westwood Fuel Rescue

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon cycling during my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I headed out to assist a young couple who were on holiday in Westwood. They'd stopped after putting diesel into their Ford, and they were around an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the gal telling her husband off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs on daily basis in Kent and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he yet still got an ear bashing by his better half. Unlucky lad. In any case, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted so long and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I made the very same error... I'd under no circumstances live it down!
