It was after 5 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing talking about the recent footy, ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Ileden and put petrol in a diesel Audi lease car in error. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to get the car to a safe space and, as it was only a short distance away from us, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Kent well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we are noticing increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And of course never turn over the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. If you have started the car you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can certainly produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Kent to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in a garage, provided that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Ileden (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your car. They are also able to handle any of the normal issues which could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
