He was calm when he phoned us but somewhat anxious to get his car out of the road as he was triggering some traffic. We got to him inside fifteen minutes because our technician was in in close proximty of North Cray and had concluded a fuel drain.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Bexley we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it right away. And of course take care not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In case you did start the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in fuel can easily result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business premises in Bexley to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in North Cray (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Bexley Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill your car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They are also able to deal with the typical problems that can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
