Provided Services:

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we provide.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Havering we are noticing progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers being unsure of how to work with it (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course never start the car - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations rather easily.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Havering for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even several drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Ardleigh Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Havering Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your car. They can also fix any of the standard troubles that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Ardleigh Green - Ardleigh Green Petrol in Diesel

I had appreciated a terrific day fishing on the weekend and felt contented the next day as I set off to assist a young couple who were on vacation in Ardleigh Green. They'd stopped after putting diesel into their Suzuki, and the car was around half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for actually being so daft. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing happens on a regular basis in Havering and that it's nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate guy. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved farewell and wondered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the very same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
