It was after five pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and me were seated there talking about the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the next job for the day to come in. Before long we got the call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Lower Halstow and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel SEAT rental by mistake. She was very affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things do happen. She managed to get the car to a secure spot and, because it was just a few miles from the office, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Kent well done in my books!

Services We Provide:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Kent we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists not knowing how to work with it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank is going to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Kent to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Lower Halstow (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up the car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your car. They can also fix any of the most common problems which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Lower Halstow - Lower Halstow Fuel Rescue

A motorist had stopped near a road in Lower Halstow. His MINI engine had ceased working and he had no idea what was awry until he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can't believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no sleep the day before and that must have been the key reason why.
