It was before ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were resting there going over the football results, waiting around for the 8th job to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in New Cross Gate and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia rental car in error. She was very agitated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to find the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. Another fuel drain in Lewisham well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can fix any associated problems.

Adding the incorrect fuel - Adding petrol fuel to a diesel engine can cause all types of problems.

Once that takes place, you'll notice your engine to begin coughing or it might stall. You'll see unusual smoke in the exhaust and starting it back is a problem. If the situation is reverse where diesel is pumped on the petrol engine, the signs and symptoms are still the same. Whichever of the two kinds of fuels, we can get it fixed for you.

Water in car?s tank - The best way to get rid of the water in the tank is to flash it out or problems while the vehicle is running will be noticed. These include engine to rev up, cough and splutter. Water contamination is not just common in boats. This can happen to vehicles too when the jerry cans are utilized to fill the tank with fuel. There is a possibility that these cans still have water in it and were included in refilling your car?s tank.

AdBlue in your Diesel tank - Like the wrong fuel in the wrong place, people tend to add AdBlue to their engine. The majority of them misunderstand the goal of AdBlue. It should go in a special compartment around the engine, and not the engine itself. It reduces emissions. AdBlue contamination numbers are rising steadily. In case you experience that problem, let's handle it for you.

Red diesel contamination of your engine - There are over 1500 garages selling red diesel in the UK. So you shouldn't be surprised by the fact that red diesel can end up in your fuel tank. It might occur unintentionally while filling from a pump or a jerry can if you're distracted. If that's what you are worried about, we can get it right quite quickly.

Old and unused fuel - As time passes by, fuel that was stored for a long period of time will have its quality degrade. Using it to your vehicle might give you problems. This old fuel has to be drained and replaced.

Wrong Fuel Assist New Cross Gate - New Cross Gate Fuel Drain

I had enjoyed a great afternoon fishing on the weekend and was feeling delighted the following day as I was en route to assist a young family vacationing in New Cross Gate. They broken down after adding petrol in their Citroen, and the car was around half an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked as I listened to the lady chastising her hubby for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass continuously in Lewisham and that it's actually absolutely nothing to stress about, however he all the same got an ear bashing. Poor chap. Anyway, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove off I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would never live it down!
