AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Kent we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just 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 will not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very swiftly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank sitting at the back of the garden containing old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Kent to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Wrotham Heath (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Kent Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the most common issues that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Wrotham Heath - Wrotham Heath Fuel Drain

A couple weeks ago a customer telephoned us after his Land Rover died along a street in Wrotham Heath. He had mistakenly put the wrong fuel in the diesel motor and drove so far as the road before needing to stop. It was yet early in the morning and our technician, who stays not far away, got to him in about a quarter hour. We were able to remove the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel yet again in to the car. "Thank you for your prompt response, particularly at 5 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
