Offered Services:
Listed below are our top services we offer to our customers.
AdBlue In your Fuel
In Westminster we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.
Now, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at once. And most definitely don't start the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you did start the car you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can easily result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases pretty easily.
Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}
Waste Fuel Removal
Got an old fuel tank in the back of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Westminster for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.
Re-Fueling Support
Out of fuel in Charing Cross (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Westminster Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to deal with any of the most common troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

She contacted us sobbing and very distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what could happen to her car in doing so. We told her that everything would be fine and that she would be back in action quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but while our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the children on board."
