Our Areas of Experience :

Below are our top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Kent we are identifying more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not being aware of how to use it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking area. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may well lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases pretty expediently.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Kent to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in East Stourmouth (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Kent Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and refill your car or truck. They are also able to deal with any of the normal problems which can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
