This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Kent we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And obviously do not start up the motor - not even to move it to a parking bay. Assuming you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel can cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Kent to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Dover (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and refill your car. They can also handle any of the typical issues which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.
