Services We Deliver:

Below are the top services we deliver to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Richmond upon Thames we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by people not knowing the way to to make use of (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it asap. And absolutely don't start up the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel will often bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances pretty easily.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container laying in the rear of your garden containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Richmond upon Thames to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps some drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Richmond (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Richmond upon Thames Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill your car or truck. They will fix the usual issues which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Richmond - Richmond Wrong Fuel in Car

A week ago a motorist called us soon after his Smart cut out on a road in Richmond.

It was yet early in the day and our technical engineer, who lives close by, got to him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in the car. "Sincere thanks to you for your fast response, and in particular at 5 a.m., I truly am grateful for it."
