Our Areas of Competence :

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Newham we have noticed progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not understanding the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely never switch on the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In case you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel tank is likely to result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business premises in Newham for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even some containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Canning Town (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Newham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up the car. They are also able to handle any of the common issues which may come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
