Our Fields of Specialties:

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Richmond upon Thames we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of motorists not knowing how to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And most definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances pretty expediently.

You should know that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Richmond upon Thames for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Mortlake (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Richmond upon Thames Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to refill your automobile. They will be able to handle the typical troubles which can accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Mortlake - Mortlake Wrong Fuel Drain

I had a great day cycling during my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I was on the way to assist a young family on holiday in Mortlake. They pulled over after adding petrol in their Honda, and were around an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked as I listened to the wife telling off her man for being so daft. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this problem goes on on a regular basis in Richmond upon Thames and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I drained out all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I made the same blunder... I would never live it down!
