Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Richmond upon Thames we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mostly ionised 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 does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you have started the car you would probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol may trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations rather easily.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
