It was around 8 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated talking over the football rankings, waiting for the next call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Clapton Park and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled apparently, crying "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Lewisham well done in my books!

Services Our Company Offers:

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in the event that you?ve put Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? Adblue is certainly damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, specifically any time you started the car with Adblue in your diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the Adblue is going to be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and costly problems to your automobile's fuel system.

In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly never start up the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances rather simply.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial properties in Lewisham for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.
