Services We Give:

Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Ealing we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely never start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel will often result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container sitting in the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Ealing to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Ealing (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Ealing Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with the normal troubles which may go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.
