AdBlue In Diesel

All over Richmond upon Thames we have identified a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not understanding how to use it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not start up the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations very expediently.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Richmond upon Thames for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Run out of fuel in Mortlake (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Richmond upon Thames Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They are also able to fix any of the usual issues that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.


Fuel Removal Mortlake - Mortlake Petrol in Diesel

A guy had conked out near a road in Mortlake. His Honda car had ceased operating and he had no idea what was awry until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and it was then when he told us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no sleep the night before and that must have been precisely why.

A young adult who had only passed his test had wrong fuelled his Toyota by getting petrol in the diesel vehicle at the filling station close to Mortlake. He said, "This is the second time I have put fuel in my vehicle since I purchased it and I don't know what to do." He was also anxious as his dad had just bought him the car. He discovered us on the web and so called us immediately, scared about what he needed to do. Our guy on the phones advised him that we could be there in 45 minutes and to not touch the car while he waited.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Mortlake - Mortlake Petrol in Diesel

This was the graveyard shift. It was about sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been rather dead up to now, and Brian and I were relaxing reading through a couple of old articles. That was a rare tranquil time in Richmond upon Thames. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that the moment my mobile finally rang it made me jump! The person on the opposite end explained: "I've just finished my overnight shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a Honda". I instructed him to let us know exactly where he was situated and we left, reaching him in Mortlake less than 30 minutes later. The fuel was removed from the car and he thanked us profusely for getting there so fast. As we were going back home we saw two ladies on the side of the road who seemed to have a flat. So we stopped to help them change it, much to their elation.

Last friday a man telephoned us after his Porsche died on a road in Mortlake. He had mistakenly put unleaded in the diesel car and drove to the street before being forced to pull up. It was early in the day and our technical engineer, who stays locally, arrived with him in approximately a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in to the car. "Thank you for your timely response, particularly at 6 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."
