AdBlue Contamination

All around Kent we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely never start the motor - not even to move it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to take care of in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can easily result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Kent for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, if we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Womenswold (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill up your car. They will deal with the usual problems which might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
