The poor lady was very troubled apparently, telling me "I can not believe I've wrecked the car!

Our Fields of Expertise:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Kent we have seen increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not understanding how to use it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases pretty simply.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank lying in the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Kent to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous drums in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Stone in Oxney (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your car. They can also handle any of the typical issues which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
