This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Kent we have encountered more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially due to drivers not understanding how to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it right away. And most definitely never start up the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel will likely cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your premises containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Kent to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Leeds (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the most common problems which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Leeds - Leeds Vehicle Misfuel

I had a fantastic evening hiking during my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I set off to aid a young family who were vacationing in Leeds. They'd broken down after putting diesel in their Nissan, and were approximately an hour away. I arrived at their car and laughed as I listened to the woman chastising her spouse for being so daft. "How could you possibly be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this problem takes place frequently in Kent and that it's nothing to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I drained all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted good bye and wondered what my missus would tell me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would personally never ever live it down!
