It was around 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting discussing the recent golf results, prepared for the sixth telephone call to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Teston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia rental car in error. She was very irritated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably happen. She managed to get the car into a protected area and, because it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and not so concerned. Another job in Kent done well in my opinion!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Kent we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will likely cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Kent to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, if we can access it, we can empty it for you.
