It was before six pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were seated there talking over the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Stone and put petrol in her diesel Kia lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected position and, since it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to get to the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. A fuel drain in Kent well done in my mind!

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Kent we have discovered more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel may well result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases pretty swiftly.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container laying at the back of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in Kent to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, if we can access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Stone (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) to fill the car. They will deal with the normal troubles which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Stone - Stone Petrol in Diesel

A gentleman called us from Stone to state that he pumped petrol in his diesel Suzuki. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put petrol in my lovely diesel car!" It took our technician roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the incorrect fuel out of the car. He thoroughly flushed the fuel system and after that put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was delighted and it didn't cost him dealer rates to get the job properly performed.
