Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your car? We can resolve any related issues.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lewisham we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists not knowing the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And definitely do not start the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In case you did start the car you would likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases very simply.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank laying in the rear of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Lewisham for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a storage shed, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Calthorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Lewisham Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your vehicle. They can also fix any of the most common issues that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Calthorpe - Calthorpe Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman called us from Calthorpe to state that he foolishly piped the wrong fuel in his diesel Citroen. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put unleaded in my lovely diesel car!" It took the technician approximately fifty minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. He totally flushed the fuel system and put clean fuel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him car dealership rates to have the work professionally done.
