It was close to 6 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! Brian and I were sitting discussing the recent tennis rankings, ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Gun Green and put petrol in her diesel Hyundai lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off contented and not so worried. A misfuel correction in Kent done well in my books!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people being unsure of how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can easily result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Gun Green (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the common troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
