It was around 7 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were resting commenting on the golf, prepared for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Great Mongeham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot lease car in error. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could get to her without delay. The bad fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Kent well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Kent we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And obviously don't switch on the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel will often contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Run out of fuel in Great Mongeham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home.
