Our Areas of Competency :

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

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Kent we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will often lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations very simply.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and business properties in Kent for the purpose 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. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Chattenden (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to refill the car. They can also handle the normal troubles which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Chattenden - Chattenden Wrong Fuel

I enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing during my day off and felt pleased the next working day as I was on the way to help a young family on vacation in Chattenden. They conked out after filling the wrong fuel into their Volkswagen, and the car was roughly an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the woman chastising her partner for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this situation takes place continuously in Kent and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he still had an ear bashing by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyhow, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed good bye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the very same error... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
