We are ready to take the wrong fuel work.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Richmond upon Thames we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to motorists not understanding the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because the product is mostly ionised water, it is just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't crank the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel will often cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we will be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the rear of the garden containing out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Richmond upon Thames for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Wrong Fuel North Sheen - North Sheen Wrong Fuel Doctor

I'd had a terrific evening golfing on the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I was en route to assist a new couple vacationing in North Sheen. They had conked out after inserting petrol in their Citroen, and were close to an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling off her hubby for being so confused. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place everyday in Richmond upon Thames and that it's in reality nothing at all to worry about, however he yet still got an earful by his better half. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyways, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I waved hasta la vista and wondered what my missus would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never live it down!
