Listed here are the top services we provide to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Kent we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people being unsure of how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly take care not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In case you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank may well contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Kent to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Martin Mill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a full Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will deal with the usual issues that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Martin Mill - Martin Mill Vehicle Misfuel

A customer called us from his residence on a road in Martin Mill. He said, "My vehicle (a Volkswagen) is not starting up and is making very bad sounds when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then reckoned he would fix the issue by putting more Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, did the drain and filled him up once more with clean Diesel. He told us after that he would be absolutely sure to educate people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to get it drained right away.
