AdBlue In your Fuel

In Wandsworth we have noticed an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And most certainly do not crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking bay. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel will likely result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting at the back of the garden with old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Wandsworth to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Chelsea Harbour (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Wandsworth Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and fill the car. They can also fix any of the usual problems which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel Doctor Chelsea Harbour - Chelsea Harbour Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a perfect evening cycling during the weekend and was feeling delighted the next morning as I set out to assist a young couple on vacation in Chelsea Harbour. They had stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their Toyota, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife berating her partner for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you actually manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this takes place regularly in Wandsworth and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent. I felt sorry for the lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove off I waved goodbye and considered what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!


Recent Fuel Drains in Chelsea Harbour

Reports from our Chelsea Harbour mechanics:

A youngster who had recently passed his driving test had misfueled his MINI by getting petrol in the diesel at the station in Chelsea Harbour. He said, "This is the third occasion I have put fuel in my vehicle from the time when I got it and I have no clue of how to handle it." He was scared since his step father had only just paid for the car. He found us on the internet and so called it without delay, frightened about what he ought to do. Our man on the phones explained to him that we would be with him inside forty-five minutes and to not touch his car while he waited. We did the fuel drain on his car and he stated how astonished he was that it was completed so quickly and with not much consequence at all.

Wrong Fuel Assist Chelsea Harbour - Chelsea Harbour Fuel Removal

A lady employed in Chelsea Harbour phoned us after she managed to get her wrong fuelled automobile to work. She had put petrol in her diesel Peugeot and, like many people before her, imagined that she could basically fill up the vehicle with diesel and it would be no problem. The engine was spluttering and then it stopped when she arrived at the entrance of her office. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved in an hour whilst she was working. She came out soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm really happy you fixed my car."

Fuel Rescue Chelsea Harbour - Chelsea Harbour Vehicle Misfuel

I had a fantastic evening hiking on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the following day as I was en route to help a new couple who were away in Chelsea Harbour. They had conked out after adding petrol in their Ford, and were about an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the woman telling her spouse off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this comes to pass constantly in Wandsworth and that it's really absolutely nothing to be anxious about, but he all the same got an earful by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. As they drove off I waved good-bye and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever live it down!
