Do you or your employees often misfuel your vehicle? We can fix any connected problems.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Greenwich we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of people not understanding how to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations quite simply.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Greenwich to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Greenwich (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Greenwich Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car. They will fix any of the standard issues which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
