It was before 8 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports results, ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in New Eltham and filled petrol in her diesel Mercedes lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, as it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to find the lady without delay.

This is what we do best.
AdBlue In your Fuel
In Greenwich we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not understanding how to work with it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the vehicle.
Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.
Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not turn over the car - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the fuel can potentially produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations rather easily.
Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Greenwich for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages.
