Our Areas of Experience :

Below are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hounslow we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you discover youself to be in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank can result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances rather quickly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Hounslow to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Vehicle Misfuel Hook - Hook Wrong Fuel Assist

A gentleman contacted us from his house on a street in Hook. He explained, "My car (a Mazda) is not starting up and is producing terrible sounds when I turn the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would fix the problem by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived quickly, did the fuel drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He said he would be sure to educate people not to fill up over the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
