We are all set to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Kent we are noticing an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not knowing the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And definitely don't start up the car - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to deal with in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is going to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations pretty easily.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be wholly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container in the rear of your premises full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Kent to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Strood (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Kent Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill up your car. They will be able to deal with the normal issues that could accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Strood - Strood Petrol in Diesel

I'd had a wonderful afternoon golfing on my holiday and was feeling satisfied with myself the next morning as I set off to assist a new couple who were holidaying in Strood. They'd stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their Jaguar, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the lady berating her husband for turning out to be so silly. "How could you even manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this situation comes to pass on daily basis in Kent and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, even so he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor lad. At any rate, I drained out all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove away I waved so long and considered what my missus would tell me if I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never ever live it down!
