Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Barking and Dagenham we are identifying a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol may lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations pretty easily.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Barking and Dagenham to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, providing we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Plaistow (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Barking and Dagenham Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up the car. They will be able to fix the common troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
