This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Kensington and Chelsea we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And definitely never start the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir in the back of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial properties in Kensington and Chelsea to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in The Borough (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Kensington and Chelsea Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They can also take care of any of the usual problems which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
