She was in an annoyed and mixed up frame of mind but we soon eased her anxiety by letting her know that we could be with her vehicle in the hour to do the fuel-drain and that the car would before long be ready to go and she would be away again.

AdBlue Contamination

In Southwark we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to turn over the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Southwark to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, if we can get to it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Newington (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a full Southwark Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They are also able to deal with any of the normal issues that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
