We arrived within fifteen minutes seeing that our drainer was in neighbouring Coldharbour and had done a fuel drain.

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Havering we are encountering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of people being unsure of how to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously be careful not to start the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank will likely result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases quite simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container sitting in the rear of your premises containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Havering to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Coldharbour (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Havering Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to refill the car. They can also take care of any of the usual issues which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
