A motorist conked out on a street in Froghole had to have a fuel drain around a month back. His Jaguar was broken down roadside after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he contacted us but slightly concerned to get his car out of the road since he was generating considerable traffic. We got to him within 15 minutes as our drainer was in neighbouring Froghole and had just completed a fuel drain. He said, "I do not believe I put petrol in my diesel car and got stuck here! My car was coughing I were forced to pull over and after that it cut out."

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Diesel

In Kent we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely do not start the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases quite quickly.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying in the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Froghole (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with the normal problems which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Froghole - Froghole Fuel Removal

I had a fantastic evening fishing during my afternoon off and was feeling delighted with myself the next morning as I was on the way to help a new family who were on holiday in Froghole. They had pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their Hyundai, and they were close to half an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed as I heard to the lady telling her spouse off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this problem happens continuously in Kent and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent by his missus. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the same blunder... I'd never ever live it down!
