Our team of SPA qualified technicians are on hand 24/7 to assist you at the roadside using the proper equipment to do a wrong fuel drain on your vehicle rapidly.

It was around 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were sitting there going over the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Ashford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel BMW rental car by mistake. She was rather irritated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from our van, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Kent done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

How to handle it if you have put Adblue in your Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a chemical that is made of a mix of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%).Adblue can be devastating to your car's fuel system, particularly if you started the car with Adblue in your tank. Whenever the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be injected into the fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And most certainly don't switch on the motor - not even to shift it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can certainly lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel.
