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

AdBlue Contamination

In Camden we have discovered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And certainly never start the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank may cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations rather easily.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Camden to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it.
