Our Services:

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All around Merton we are noticing a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to people not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the car you may very likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to take care of in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol can easily bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases quite expediently.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial properties in Merton to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages.
