Services We Offer:

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Kent we have noticed a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations pretty quickly.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Kent for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a garage, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Riverhead (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill the car. They are also able to take care of the typical troubles which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Riverhead - Riverhead Wrong Fuel in Car

Last friday a customer telephoned us after his BMW stopped working on a street in Riverhead. He had by mistake put petrol in his diesel vehicle and was only able to get to the road before being forced to pull up. It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who stays locally, arrived with him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the car. "Genuine thanks to you for your prompt response, especially at 2 a.m., I really appreciate it."
