AdBlue In Diesel

All around Richmond upon Thames we have noticed a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never start the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the car you would probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol will bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations fairly swiftly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises containing aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Richmond upon Thames to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Run out of fuel in Kew (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Richmond upon Thames Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to fill the car. They can also handle any of the usual issues which might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

It was early in the morning and our technical engineer, who resides locally, was with him in about 10 minutes. We were able to get rid of the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the car. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 5 a.m., I genuinely appreciate it."

Following are examples and illustrations of wrong fuel removal we've performed in Kew:

Now I am not ever so keen on doing the job weekends, and a week ago was no different. I'd just departed the family after having a tasty lunch cooked for us by the missus, and I was on my way to deal with a fellow after he had filled the wrong fuel in his SEAT. He was stationed in Kew thus it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on other considerations and did not perceive I had put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused some problems because of driving it?" I said generally there shouldn't be any kind of damage and that also I'd personally remove the wrong fuel at once for him. It goes without saying that I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and yet another contented client had the ability to carry on with his trip without the need for fuss. The man could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is what makes working on weekends in Richmond upon Thames just a small bit better to me!

The car was coughing and then it died when she got to the entrance of her work. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it fixed within 60 minutes while she was working. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm really relieved you sorted my vehicle."

A gentleman called us from his residence on a street in Kew. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Nissan) is not running and is producing terrible sounds when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We got there promptly, did the fuel drain and filled it up once more with clean Diesel. He told us that he'd be certain to explain to people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
