This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Hounslow we are identifying a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not knowing the way to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely don't switch on the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you would likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank can potentially result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel container laying in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Hounslow to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home.

They will deal with the standard troubles which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Ashtead - Ashtead Fuel Rescue

A gentleman had conked out just off a street in Ashtead. His Dacia engine had stopped running and he had no clue what was wrong until eventually he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had got zero rest the evening before and that must have been the reason.
