Listed below are our top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Kensington and Chelsea we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially thanks to drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And certainly never start the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can certainly trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases rather simply.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Kensington and Chelsea to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

Vehicle Misfuel Hawks Hill - Hawks Hill Fuel Drain

A customer phoned us from his house on a road in Hawks Hill. He said, "My car (a Suzuki) is not running and is making terrible noises when I turn the key." He admitted that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then believed he would fix the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up promptly, performed the drain and filled it up again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he would be sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
