We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Merton we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix all types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden with aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Merton to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, if we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Wrong Fuel in Car Buckhurst Hill - Buckhurst Hill Wrong Fuel

I enjoyed a great afternoon cycling on my holiday and was feeling delighted the following day as I was on the way to help a young family vacationing in Buckhurst Hill. They had broken down after filling petrol in their Audi, and were roughly an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed while I heard to the girl telling her partner off for actually being so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this comes to pass all the time in Merton and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, even so he still had an ear bashing by his missus. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyways, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
