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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Havering we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously be careful not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will often bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Havering for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a number of containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in South Hornchurch (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Havering Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your car. They will be able to deal with any of the normal problems that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.
