It was just after ten pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated talking over the recent sports, waiting for the next call to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Finsbury Park and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen rental in error. She was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things do happen. She was able to move the car into a protected spot and, because it was just a short distance from where we were, we could get to her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and not so worried.

Our Fields of Expertise:

Below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Islington we are discovering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations rather swiftly.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Islington for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages.
