AdBlue In Diesel

All around Wandsworth we have encountered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously do not switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you will very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will likely result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases quite expediently.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank lying in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Wandsworth to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in West Hill (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Wandsworth Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They can also handle the most common issues which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.

A person called us from his place on a close in West Hill. He said, "My car (a Skoda) is not starting and is producing awful noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would solve the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We got there promptly, did the drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He said after that he'd be certain to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
