Our Areas of Competence :

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Kent we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not knowing the right way to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And most certainly never start up the car - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank will often lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel container at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Kent for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Crouch (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to fix the standard issues that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

We a few weeks ago had a phone call from a young man who had put the incorrect fuel in his Citroen in Crouch. He had ground to a halt on the road. "I was pleased at how speedy you guys were in sending someone out to aid me when I erroneously filled my diesel car with unleaded. Thanks".

Petrol in Diesel Crouch - Crouch Wrong Fuel

A woman from Crouch with a full car of youngsters in her diesel Kia had put £45 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She called us weeping and genuinely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and did not know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that all would be alright and that she would be ready to go quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the kids on board."

Wrong Fuel in Car Crouch - Crouch Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man contacted us from his place on a street in Crouch. He explained, "My car (a Peugeot) is not starting up and is making very bad noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he put petrol in his diesel car but then imagined he would fix the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He told us that he would be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
