Services Our Company Offers:
Below are our top services we give to our clients.
AdBlue Contamination
Throughout Kent we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.
So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously do not crank the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious issue to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in petrol or diesel is likely to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases rather easily.
Take note however that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you have the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
Waste Fuel Management
Have a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Kent to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.
Out of Fuel Support
Run out of fuel in Ashford (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to take care of any of the standard issues that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
