It was just before five pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! Paul and me were resting going over the weekend's tennis results, ready for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Newington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel BMW rental in error. The poor thing was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and much less stressed. Yet another job in Kent done well in my opinion!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained asap. And of course don't switch on the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations very swiftly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Got a fuel container at the back of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Newington (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the usual problems which may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
