Listed here are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Kent we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of people being unsure of the right way to to make use of (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And certainly never crank the engine - not even to move it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will often produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations fairly simply.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container placed at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Kent to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Out of fuel in South Alkham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Out of Fuel Service.
