Fuel Drain Effingham - Effingham Fuel Removal

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Saturday and we were on the way to help an elder lovely lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel Lexus in Effingham. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station and broken down along a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was with her within 60 minutes. I got to the location and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only just purchased it a few days ago when my previous car, which I had owned for about 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Hammersmith and Fulham lady!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hammersmith and Fulham we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not being totally sure how to use it (pay attention: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances rather simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Hammersmith and Fulham to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

We completed a wrong fuel retrieval exercise outside a spectacular house in Effingham recently. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to more or less get home when my car cut out." Our fuel drainer went out, even though it was fairly late at night, and did a full fuel drain and cleanse on the Suzuki .

Fuel Drain Effingham - Effingham Fuel Drain

A driver from Effingham with a full car of little ones in her diesel Smart had put £50 of petrol at the BP station. She contacted us crying and very distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and did not know what would happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that everything would be okay and that she would be in action quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the little ones in the back."

Wrong Fuel in Car Effingham - Effingham Vehicle Misfuel

A person contacted us from his place on a road in Effingham. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Hyundai) is not running and is making awful sounds when I turn the key." He said that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would solve the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He told us that he'd be absolutely sure to explain to people not to fill up in addition to the incorrect fuel but to have it cleaned out promptly.
