Our Areas of Experience :

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Kent we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never turn over the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank can contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.
