Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Kent we have seen more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to people not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely don't turn over the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel may well bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases rather simply.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container placed in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Kent for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Sholden (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your automobile. They are also able to take care of the usual issues that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Sholden - Sholden Fuel Rescue

A person called us from his place on a street in Sholden. He pronounced, "My car (a SEAT) is not starting and is generating terrible sounds when I flip the key." He said that he put petrol in his diesel car but then believed he would remedy the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once again with fresh Diesel. He said he would be certain to advise people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it drained promptly.
