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

AdBlue Contamination

All over Richmond upon Thames we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not knowing how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And obviously do not switch on the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol will often lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases quite swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Wrong Fuel Doctor Gants Hill - Gants Hill Wrong Fuel

A gentleman rang us from his place on a street in Gants Hill. He exclaimed, "My car (a BMW) is not starting and is making awful sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would resolve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, performed the fuel drain and filled it up once again with clean Diesel. He told us after that he'd be certain to tell people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it drained immediately.
