It was after 7 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in West End and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda rental. The unfortunate lady was rather affected it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and not so stressed. A job in Kent well done in my mind!

Helping you get back on the road is our primary goal.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Kent we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not knowing how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to take care of in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations very easily.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business premises in Kent to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Wrong Fuel West End - West End Petrol in Diesel

Yesterday a motorist contacted us when his Ford broke down on a street in West End. He had mistakenly put unleaded in his diesel car and was only able to get so far as the street before being forced to pull over. It was still in the early hours of the day and our engineer, who resides not far away, arrived with him in about a quarter hour. We managed to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, especially at 4 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
