It was just before eight pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless day, it had not given up on raining! James and me were relaxing going over the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the next fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Marshborough and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental car in error. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the car into a secure spot and, because it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could find the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less stressed. A misfuel correction in Kent well done in my mind!

AdBlue Contamination

In Kent we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people not knowing the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Phone us in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases pretty easily.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in Kent to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Marshborough (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car. They can also handle the most common issues that may go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

A gentleman called us from Marshborough saying he stupidly pumped the wrong fuel in his diesel Nissan. "Shocking! I can't believe I put unleaded in my lovely diesel car!" It took the technician roughly 50 minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. He completely purged the fuel system and after that put fresh diesel in the car. The customer was delighted and it didn't cost him dealer prices to have the job professionally done.
