It was about 7 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the 8th call to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Ridgeway and put petrol in a diesel Volvo rental in error. The poor thing was very irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could find the lady without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and not so anxious. A fuel drain in Kent done well in my mind!

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we have found a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases quite quickly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel container at the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we can empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Ridgeway (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill your car. They will be able to take care of any of the standard issues which may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.
