It was before 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Brian and me were sitting talking over the football rankings, waiting for the 6th call of the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Luddesdown and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and a lot less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Waltham Forest well done in my mind!

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Waltham Forest we have identified a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the car.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly don't turn over the engine - not even to move it to a parking bay. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol will lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances very swiftly.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Waltham Forest to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Luddesdown (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Waltham Forest Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your automobile if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill the car. They can also take care of the normal troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
