Our Areas of Expertise: Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Brent we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of people not knowing the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And of course take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances very easily.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container laying in the back of your garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Brent to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Kensal Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Brent Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car. They can also deal with any of the common problems which could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
