Our Services:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Kent we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from people not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And obviously take care not to turn over the car - not even to move it to a parking place. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will often cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations pretty quickly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank laying in the back of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Kent for the purpose of 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. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Chattenden (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to refill your car. They can also deal with the most common issues which could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Chattenden - Chattenden Wrong Fuel

I had appreciated a terrific afternoon fishing during my afternoon off and was feeling pleased with myself the next working day as I headed out to assist a young family on holiday in Chattenden. They had pulled over after filling petrol into their SEAT, and were close to an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smiled as I heard to the woman telling her partner off for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this goes on regularly in Kent and that it's really absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unfortunate guy. Anyways, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted so long and considered what my wife would do to me if I did the very same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
