These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Kent we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not knowing how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most definitely do not start up the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank will often cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Kent for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.
