Our Areas of Competency :

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Kent we are finding more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to use it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously do not crank the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container laying at the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Kent to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

We are able to help to fill up your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.

Wrong Fuel in Car Westwood, Kent

Fuel Rescue Westwood - Westwood Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had a wonderful day hiking during my holiday and was feeling delighted the following day as I set out to aid a young couple on holiday in Westwood. They had stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their Jaguar, and they were about half an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked as I listened to the girl telling her partner off for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place regularly in Kent and that it's in reality nothing at all to worry about, however he all the same had an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While they drove off I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would tell me if I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!
