Our Areas of Experience :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Kent we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of people not knowing how to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances very simply.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container laying in the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Kent to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a garage, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Knockholt (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the standard issues that can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
