It was just after 9 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were seated going over the weekend's golf, waiting for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Abbey Gate and put petrol in a diesel Land Rover rental car. The poor lady was quite irritated apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and not so concerned. Another job in Kent done well in my opinion!

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Kent we are finding increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course don't switch on the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important situation to address in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank can easily cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty simply.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Abbey Gate (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to fill your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the normal issues which could accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
