Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we provide.
AdBlue In your Fuel
Throughout Greenwich we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to one another on the car.
So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
In the case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly don't switch on the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you may probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases rather quickly.
Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
Marine Fuel Drains
If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
Removal of Waste Fuel

We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in Greenwich to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, providing we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your automobile. They can also fix any of the common issues that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

A man who had sadly put petrol in his diesel Audi phoned us for assistance at the Murco filling station in Eltham. He had decided to fill up before continuing on to the local holiday park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded instead of diesel which unfortunately wasn't a good start to our holiday." It was certainly no challenge whatsoever for our technical engineer to go out and perform the fuel drain.
