This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Kent we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not knowing how to work with it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously do not start up the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you did start the car you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is going to cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases quite easily.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying in the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Kent to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in North Eastling (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the normal issues that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
