We are willing to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Kent we are noticing a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not understanding the way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container placed in the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Kent for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in The Harbour (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to refill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the usual troubles that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel The Harbour - The Harbour Wrong Fuel Assist

Last week a youngster contacted us because his Mazda ground to a halt in the middle of a street in The Harbour. He had unintentionally put petrol in the diesel car and drove to the street before needing to halt. It was in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who lives locally, got to him in about a quarter hour. We managed to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the vehicle. "Genuine kudos to you for your fast response, especially at 2 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
