It was after six pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were resting discussing the rugby rankings, prepared for the 6th call that day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Fordwich and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Peugeot lease car. She was very agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to find the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could go home to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away relaxed and less stressed. Another fuel drain in Kent done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

Listed here are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Kent we are encountering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to motorists not understanding the right way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously never start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking place. If you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can easily result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container sitting at the rear of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Fordwich (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill the car. They will be able to deal with any of the most common problems that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
