Services We Provide:

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lambeth we have noticed an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being aware of the way to work with it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And of course take care not to switch on the motor - not even to move it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will often cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations fairly simply.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank at the back of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Lambeth for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Herne Hill (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Lambeth Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to refill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) and refill the car. They will handle any of the most common issues that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Herne Hill - Herne Hill Wrong Fuel

A man phoned us from Herne Hill saying he foolishly piped the wrong fuel in to his diesel Toyota. "I can't believe it! How could I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It took the engineer approximately fifty minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. He completely flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh fuel in the vehicle. The customer was delighted and it didn't cost him dealer rates to have the task properly completed.
