It was just after ten pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's footy, at the ready for the seventh job that day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Minster and put petrol in a diesel Volkswagen lease car. The poor thing was rather troubled it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things do happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected area and, since it was just a short distance away from us, we could get to the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Kent well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Kent we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank is going to produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations quite simply.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container placed in the back of your garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Minster (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car. They will be able to take care of any of the typical issues which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Minster - Minster Vehicle Misfuel

A week ago a motorist contacted us after his Audi died along a road in Minster. He had inadvertently put the incorrect fuel in his diesel motor and got so far as the street before needing to give up. It was still in the early hours of the morning and our technician, who lives not far away, arrived with him in about fifteen minutes. We were able to get rid of the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your prompt response, particularly at 1 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
