It was before 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased raining! Brian and I were relaxing there talking over the golf, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Snave and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot lease car in error. She was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. Yet another job in Kent well done in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Kent we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists not knowing the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you find yourself in this situation don?t panic! Call us, the UK?s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the practical skills and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will likely cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases quite easily.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Kent to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.
