It was about 6 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting around for the sixth call that day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Ileden and filled petrol in her diesel Hyundai rental in error. She was somewhat affected apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to get the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few miles from where we were, we could reach her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Kent done well in my books!

Our Services:

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

AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we are noticing more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to fix all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances rather expediently.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank lying at the back of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Kent to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, providing we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Ileden (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to fill your car. They will be able to fix the usual problems which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Ileden - Ileden Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a perfect evening cycling on my off day and was feeling pleased the next day as I headed out to aid a young family on vacation in Ileden. They pulled over after putting diesel in their Porsche, and the car was roughly half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked while I listened to the lady telling her partner off for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this goes on quite frequently in Kent and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if I made the same error... I'd never ever live it down!
