It was after five pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were resting there talking about the recent football, at the ready for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in East Malling and put petrol in a diesel Suzuki hire car. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected space and, because it was only a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. Another job in Kent done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Kent we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not understanding the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol may well trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying at the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Kent to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in East Malling (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill the car. They are also able to deal with any of the normal troubles which could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
