AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Waltham Forest we are finding progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists being unsure of the way to use it (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In the case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And of course do not crank the car - not even to move it to a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel tank can cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases fairly easily.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Waltham Forest for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Walthamstow (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Waltham Forest Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to fix any of the standard issues that might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Walthamstow - Walthamstow Wrong Fuel in Car

I had appreciated a wonderful day cycling on my off day and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a young family on holiday in Walthamstow. They had stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their Mercedes, and were approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the wife telling her spouse off for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this problem happens on a regular basis in Waltham Forest and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, however he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. Poor boy. Anyway, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching as they drove away I mouthed bon voyage and considered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I would personally never live it down!
