Our Fields of Specialties:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may well cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances quite quickly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Littlestone-on-Sea (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill your automobile. They will be able to handle any of the standard issues that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
