Services We Offer:

Listed here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Lambeth we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not knowing the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations fairly simply.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel tank in the back of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Lambeth to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Chigwell (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Lambeth Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill your automobile. They are also able to deal with any of the usual problems which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Chigwell, Lambeth

Wrong Fuel Chigwell - Chigwell Wrong Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon hiking during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I was en route to help a young couple who were on holiday in Chigwell. They stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their BMW, and were roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife telling off her partner for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs on daily basis in Lambeth and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, however he all the same got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!
