It was just before 9 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were seated going over the football results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Grange and put the wrong fuel in a diesel MINI hire car in error. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things sadly happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and not so stressed. One more misfuel correction in Kent well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Kent we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel will likely bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases fairly simply.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial premises in Kent to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Grange (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car. They will be able to fix any of the most common troubles which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Grange - Grange Wrong Fuel Drain

A man had broken down just near a road in Grange. His Kia car had ceased running and he'd no idea what was faulty until he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I did not realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten no rest the night before and that must have been the reason why.
