These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Lewisham we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly never start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in fuel tank can easily produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances quite expediently.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container sitting at the back of your premises containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Lewisham to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Forest Hill (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Lewisham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and refill your automobile. They will fix the normal problems that may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Drain Forest Hill - Forest Hill Fuel Drain

I had a perfect afternoon hiking on my off day and felt delighted the next working day as I set off to help a young couple on holiday in Forest Hill. They had stopped after adding diesel in their Lexus, and the car was approximately half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the girl telling her partner off for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you even be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass all the time in Lewisham and that it's truly nothing at all to fret about, even so he still got an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyhow, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some correct fuel. While they drove down the road I waved good bye and thought about what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I would never ever live it down!
