AdBlue Contamination

In Hillingdon we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not understanding the right way to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the car.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at once. And obviously do not switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank will often trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations very swiftly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel container lying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Hillingdon to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of fuel in Harmondsworth (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Hillingdon Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home.

We showed up quickly, performed the drain and filled him up again with fresh Diesel.
