Our Fields of Expertise:

Listed here are our top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Wandsworth we have noticed progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And certainly don't crank the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you will likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations pretty simply.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have a fuel tank placed in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Wandsworth to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Summerstown (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Wandsworth Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill up your car or truck. They are also able to deal with the typical troubles that could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Summerstown - Summerstown Petrol in Diesel

I had a fantastic evening fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling pleased the following morning as I was en route to aid a young couple who were on vacation in Summerstown. They'd broken down after putting diesel into their Mercedes, and the car was close to half an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and laughed as I listened to the gal telling her man off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Wandsworth and that it's really nothing to worry about, nonetheless he still got his ear bent. Poor guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and thought about what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
