This is what we do best.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Kent we have noticed more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at once. And most certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is likely to cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial premises in Kent to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Boxley (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car. They are also able to handle the normal troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Boxley - Boxley Wrong Fuel Drain

A couple of days ago a young man contacted us right after his Mitsubishi broke down along a street in Boxley. He had inadvertently put petrol in his diesel motor and drove as far as the street before being forced to pull up. It was still early in the day and our technician, who stays close by, got to him in approximately a quarter hour. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in the car. "Many thanks to you for your timely response, particularly at 6 a.m., I appreciate it."

Recent Fuel Drains in Boxley

Some examples:

We got a phone call from a individual whose Peugeot had stopped on a road after a misfuel. "I got the pumps mixed up and put petrol instead of diesel in my car . You guys came out and sorted out the situation after my car gave up." We drained the wrong fuel from the diesel tank and flushed the system completely and the driver was able to go on with his deliveries.

Fuel Rescue Boxley - Boxley Fuel Rescue

A person called us from his Lexus after he had come to a halt on the bustling street. "I foolishly put petrol in my diesel car and I ultimately found out all about it several miles down the road!" Happily we were in a position to have an technician out to him in a rather quick time, taking into consideration the fact it was rush-hour, and he was soon back on the road.

Vehicle Misfuel Boxley - Boxley Petrol in Diesel

A man contacted us from his place on a street in Boxley. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Citroen) is not starting and is creating terrible sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then reckoned he would fix the issue by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, did the drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He said he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out immediately.
