It was around 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting discussing the recent footy rankings, ready for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Thanington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Citroen rental. She was quite distressed it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, since it was only a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Kent we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel can certainly trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of the garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Kent to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Thanington (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They can also handle the typical issues which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
