Our Areas of Experience :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Kent we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel is likely to cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying in the back of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Kent for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, as long as we can reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Summerfield (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill the car. They can also deal with any of the common issues that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
