Below are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Kent we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of people not knowing the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And certainly take care not to crank the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol may produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances rather easily.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Kent to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a garage, providing we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Seaton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump price) to fill the car. They can also fix any of the standard issues that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Seaton - Seaton Wrong Fuel in Car

A week ago a customer phoned us right after his Jaguar stopped working on a street in Seaton. He had by mistake put petrol in the diesel vehicle and got so far as the street before having to give up. It was early in the morning and our technician, who stays locally, reached him in approximately 20 minutes. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel back in to the vehicle. "Many thanks to you for your immediate response, particularly at 5 a.m., I appreciate it."
