Our Areas of Expertise:

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

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hounslow we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And definitely never switch on the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel is going to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations pretty swiftly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel tank laying in the back of your premises full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Hounslow to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Ashtead (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Hounslow Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your automobile. They are also able to deal with the usual issues which may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
