It was just after eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated talking about the recent sports, waiting for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in West Barnes and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet lease car. She was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from us, we could reach the woman right away. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in.

Our Areas of Competency :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

In Westminster we have discovered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not being aware of the way to work with it (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you discover youself to be in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel can lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we can reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}
