Our Services:

Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Kent we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being aware of how to work with it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely take care not to start up the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may well result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Kent to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Leeds (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to refill your car. They are also able to handle the standard issues that could come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.
