It was around 5 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were resting discussing the tennis results, waiting for the next call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Harbourland and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Audi rental by mistake. She was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and less worried. A fuel drain in Kent done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Experience :

Listed below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

In Kent we have noticed more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel will cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances rather expediently.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Kent to take care of removing 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. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Harbourland (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car. They are also able to fix the typical problems that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
