It was before 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting talking about the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Lower Halstow and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Smart rental. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things sadly happen. She managed to get the car to a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to reach the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and not so stressed. One more job in Kent done well in my books!

Listed here are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do if you may have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? AdBlue is a solution that?s made of a mix of high-purity urea and ionized water (67.5%).It is actually damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in your diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the Adblue will be dragged into the fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, leading to disastrous and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely don't start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will often trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Kent to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages.
