We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Greenwich we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to switch on the car - not even to move it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can certainly trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank laying in the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Greenwich for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.
