It was before 7 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and me were seated commenting on the weekend's golf results, prepared for the seventh call for the day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Adisham and filled petrol in her diesel Volvo rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was only a short distance from us, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and less concerned. Another fuel drain in Kent done well in my mind!

Below are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we have identified increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will often lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations very expediently.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Adisham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They can also fix the common troubles which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Adisham - Adisham Fuel Rescue

A couple of days ago a driver contacted us when his MINI ground to a halt along a street in Adisham. He had by mistake put the incorrect fuel in the diesel vehicle and got to the road before being forced to halt. It was really early in the day and our engineer, who lives nearby, arrived with him in less than 20 minutes. We were able to take out the incorrect fuel and put clean diesel yet again into the car. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 1 a.m., I genuinely am grateful for it."
