It was just after 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent golf, waiting for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Benover and put the wrong fuel in her diesel MG hire car in error. The poor lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could reach the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and less stressed. A fuel drain in Kent well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Kent we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations quite quickly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank placed in the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Benover (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill the car. They are also able to fix the typical issues which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Benover - Benover Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman had conked out off a street in Benover. His Smart engine had ceased operating and he had no clue what was faulty until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had got very little sleep the night before and that must have been the reason.
