AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And most certainly be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will often bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your premises containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Kent to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Norton Ash (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill the car. They can also fix the common issues which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Norton Ash - Norton Ash Wrong Fuel in Car

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted with myself the following day as I was on the way to assist a young couple who were on holiday in Norton Ash. They had broken down after filling petrol in their Mitsubishi, and they were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman chastising her hubby for being so stupid. "Just how could you actually be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass on daily basis in Kent and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, however he still got his ear bent by his wife. Poor chap. Anyways, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While they drove away I shouted goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!
