It was about five pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry night, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting talking about the recent tennis results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Printstile and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen lease car in error. She was quite affected it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to move the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. One more fuel drain in Kent done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Below are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Kent we have noticed increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out asap. And of course be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to take care of in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases quite quickly.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Kent for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Printstile (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your car. They will fix any of the standard issues that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Printstile - Printstile Fuel Drain

A customer had broken down just near a street in Printstile. His Land Rover engine had stopped operating and he had no clue what was faulty until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel car. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got very little rest the day before and that must have been the reason why.
