If you've unfortunately put the incorrect fuel in your car and at this point need a fuel drain you are very likely searching the internet on the lookout for a rapid, trustworthy, competent and budget-friendly fuel drain company in Otham or Kent. We are the specialists suitable for you!

It was about 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Otham and put petrol in her diesel Hyundai lease car. The poor lady was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to get the car to a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and not so stressed. A job in Kent done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Kent we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to attend to different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Otham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car. They can also take care of the usual troubles which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Otham - Otham Fuel Drain

A gentleman called us from Otham to say he had foolishly pumped unleaded into his diesel Dacia. "What a pain! How could I put the wrong fuel in my nice diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer about fifty minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel from the car. He carefully purged the fuel system and after that put fresh diesel in the car. The customer was delighted and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to get the work properly performed.
