This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hammersmith and Fulham we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially due to people being unsure of the right way to work with it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to move it to a parking area. Assuming you have started the car you would likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can easily cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite quickly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir at the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Hammersmith and Fulham to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in an outbuilding, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

We can get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home.

Petrol in Diesel Wandsworth - Wandsworth Vehicle Misfuel

A couple weeks ago a man contacted us after his Peugeot died along a road in Wandsworth. He had unintentionally put petrol in his diesel car and was only able to drive so far as the road before needing to pull over. It was actually in the early hours of the day and our fuel drainer, who lives not far away, reached him in approximately 20 minutes. We managed to take out the wrong fuel and put clean diesel yet again in to the vehicle. "Sincere kudos to you for your timely response, and in particular at 1 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
