Services Our Company Offers:

Here are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Barking and Dagenham we are discovering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a result of people not knowing the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank may produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases rather swiftly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Barking and Dagenham to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at cost) and fill your vehicle.
