Our Fields of Expertise: Services We Offer:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Kent we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And of course never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir at the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and business premises in Kent to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Barham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to refill your car. They can also fix any of the normal issues that may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Barham - Barham Wrong Fuel in Car

A man had stopped off a street in Barham. His MG car had ceased working and he had no idea what was awry until eventually he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten zero rest the day before and that must have been precisely why.
