Services We Offer:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Wandsworth we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly a result of motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And most certainly don't turn over the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be wholly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container laying in the rear of the garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Wandsworth to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Putney Heath (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Wandsworth Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your automobile. They are also able to fix the standard troubles which can come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
