Our Areas of Expertise:

Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Kent we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And most certainly never start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations quite easily.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container laying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Ickham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car in the event that you are stranded 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 the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They are also able to fix the typical issues that could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
