It was just after seven pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were sitting there discussing the recent tennis, waiting for the 6th call that day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Dunkirk and filled petrol in her diesel Skoda hire car in error. The poor thing was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to reach her swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and much less concerned. Another fuel drain in Kent done well in my books!

Services Our Company Offers:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not understanding the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the car.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not start up the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol may produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Dunkirk (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your automobile. They will be able to fix the most common troubles that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Dunkirk - Dunkirk Wrong Fuel

A motorist had conked out just off a street in Dunkirk. His Suzuki engine had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was awry till he noticed he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got zero rest the evening before and that could have been the key reason why.
