It was after five pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were seated there going over the recent footy rankings, ready for the 8th job of the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Sutton at Hone and put petrol in a diesel Vauxhall rental by mistake. She was rather affected apparently, stating "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected area and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could arrive at the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at.

Our Areas of Competence :

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

AdBlue Contamination

All over City of London we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not understanding the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely never crank the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may very likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to deal with in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will likely cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations quite swiftly.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in City of London to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly drain it for you.
