Our fuel drainer was called out to a filling station in Bottom Pond when a lady put the wrong fuel in her Citroen by putting unleaded in her diesel vehicle.

As we had promised she was exactly that, but not before telling us: "Your firm is incredibly service focused, I'm extremely happy my vehicle is fine," and that she'd recommend us to everybody.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Kent we have found a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely be careful not to start the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank laying in the back of your premises with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Kent for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Bottom Pond (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They can also deal with the usual issues which could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
