It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry evening, it had not given up on raining! Ray and I were sitting there talking about the recent football, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Collier Street and filled petrol in a diesel Lexus rental car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from where we were, we could reach the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and less worried.

Listed here are our top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Kent we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not being aware of the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you end up in this predicament don?t panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination company. Our experts have the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the back of the garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Kent for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Collier Street (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will deal with the standard troubles which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
