We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Kent we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not understanding how to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it immediately. And obviously be careful not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel is going to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations pretty simply.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Kent for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, provided that we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Out of fuel in Studdal (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill up your car. They can also fix the standard troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Studdal - Studdal Wrong Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a fantastic afternoon hiking on my holiday and felt delighted the following working day as I set out to aid a new family who were on holiday in Studdal. They broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their MG, and they were around half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the gal chastising her partner for being so daft. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass all the time in Kent and that it is nothing to get worried about, but he yet still had his ear bent. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I drained out all the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never live it down!
