Our Areas of Competence :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Kent we have noticed a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And of course be careful not to start up the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to deal with in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations pretty quickly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Kent to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a few drums in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

We are able to help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your automobile.

Recent Fuel Drains in Shoreham

Stories from our Shoreham team:

I am certainly not very keen on doing work Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just left the family filled with a lovely roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was on the way to deal with a gentleman who had put the wrong petrol in his MINI. He was somewhere in Shoreham and so I was there almost immediately. As I drove up at the rear of the car and got busy draining he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other stuff and did not grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created some harm simply by running it?" I explained that there should not be any kind of problems and that also I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained quickly. Naturally I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled it with the correct fuel, and thus yet another happy motorist was able to continue on their journey with no difficulty. The gentleman could hardly stop thanking me, and this is exactly what tends to make operating on weekends in Kent a little bit better to me!

Wrong Fuel in Car Shoreham - Shoreham Fuel Removal

This was exactly what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly 2 in the morning and noone was about. It had become pretty uneventful until now, and me and Paul were loafing around reading a number of old newspapers. This was a rare quiet time in Kent. Actually it was that tranquil that the instant the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The person on the opposite end stated: "I have only just completed my overnight shift and stupidly put petrol in a diesel Mitsubishi in error". I instructed him to inform us just where he was and we hit the road, reaching him in Shoreham only half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the motor and he thanked us for showing up so quickly. As we were coming back home we saw two girls on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

It was actually in the early hours of the morning and our engineer, who lives not far away, reached him in approximately fifteen minutes. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in the vehicle. "Sincere thanks to you for your prompt response, particularly at 4 a.m., I am grateful for it."
