Other Fuel Services
Apart from wrong fuel in the car, we also deliver other related services such as disposal of contaminated fuel. Most people, however, do not know that we do and that it is not an easy task. For starters, you have to be tested and authorized by the Environment agency before you can even attempt to dispose of contaminated fuel and this in no way assures that you will have the capacity and discipline to adhere to the strict code of conduct and regulations spelled out by the agency. This service is readily accessible to both private and commercial clients. Therefore, once they can provide us access, we can dispose of contaminated fuel in a container, trailer load or fixed huge capacity tank. All this is done both safely and legally, not to mention at very competitive prices.
We can also deal with other fuel contamination issues such as water in a vehicle's fuel system. Unintentionally mixing AdBlue in the fuel tank is not even an issue for us. AdBlue is a great diesel emission cleaner. As long as you add enough amount of AdBlue and carry out the appropriate process, it can keep your diesel engine run clean. In these days we are seeing more and more people inadvertently putting AdBlue directly into their fuel tank which, as you can imagine, is not going to work out well.
In case any of these liquids, water, and AdBlue is introduced to your fuel system, rest easy with full confidence that our competent technicians with unmatched prowess will correct the situation.
