Services We Offer:

Below are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Kent we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists not being aware of the way to use it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely do not switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations quite expediently.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Kent to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Horton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out 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 just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They are also able to deal with the common issues that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Horton - Horton Wrong Fuel Assist

A motorist had stopped just off a street in Horton. His Porsche engine had stopped running and he had no clue what was awry until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to get a fuel drain and that's when he told us: "I can't believe that I did not comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten very little sleep the day before and that must have been the reason why.
