It was after 5 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were seated there talking over the golf rankings, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in St Johns and put petrol in her diesel Smart hire car. The poor thing was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, because it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to her quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Lewisham well done in my books!

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

In Lewisham we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If you get in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the specialised know-how and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is going to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations very simply.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial premises in Lewisham to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a garage, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.
