These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All over Greater London we have identified a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel can trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Greater London to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a garage, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

We will come to re-fill your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.

Wrong Fuel Ilford - Ilford Wrong Fuel Doctor

A customer contacted us from his place on a close in Ilford. He exclaimed, "My car (a Volvo) is not starting and is making terrible noises when I turn the key."

We arrived quickly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He said after that he'd be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
