AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Greenwich we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by people not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously don't crank the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will likely result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases fairly easily.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir laying at the rear of your garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Greenwich for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Plumstead (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Greenwich Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your car or truck. They will fix any of the typical problems which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Plumstead - Plumstead Vehicle Misfuel

A guy had stopped just near a street in Plumstead. His Audi engine had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was awry right up until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't know that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no sleep the evening before and that must have been precisely why.
