It was after 5 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on pouring! Mark and me were sitting there going over the weekend's rugby, ready for the sixth call that day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Paddock Wood and put petrol in a diesel Land Rover rental in error. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from us, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in Kent well done in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Kent we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel will result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations rather easily.

Remember however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Paddock Wood (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.
