Assisting you get back on the road is our number 1 goal.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not knowing the way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely never start the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can potentially trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container placed at the back of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Kent to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Canterbury (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to refill the car. They can also deal with any of the typical issues which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Canterbury - Canterbury Fuel Rescue

A guy had stopped just near a road in Canterbury. His Smart motor had ceased functioning and he'd no idea what was faulty until eventually he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got absolutely no sleep the day before and that must have been the key reason why.

Recent Fuel Drains in Canterbury

Stories from our own Canterbury technicians:

I'm not too inclined to doing the job weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids following a wonderful roast prepared for me by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a fellow after he filled the wrong petrol in his Mitsubishi. He was somewhere in Canterbury hence it wasn't long before I got to him. As I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my thoughts on other things and failed to perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on damage because of driving it?" I revealed generally there probably should not be any kind of harm and also that I'd drain the fuel quickly for him. Obviously I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and thus one more delighted motorist was able to carry on with their trip without any fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this tends to make working on weekends in Kent that little bit less painful in my opinion!

Vehicle Misfuel Canterbury - Canterbury Fuel Removal

A lady from Canterbury with her kids in her diesel Land Rover had put £50 of petrol at the Co Op station. She contacted us crying and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what would happen to her car because of it. We assured her that everything would be alright and that she would be up and running quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the kids in the back."

Fuel Drain Canterbury - Canterbury Fuel Removal

A man contacted us from his place on a road in Canterbury. He said, "My car (a BMW) is not starting and is making very bad noises when I flip the key." He confessed that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the fuel drain and filled it up again with clean Diesel. He said that he'd be sure to inform people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained right away.
