It was around 5 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were relaxing talking over the recent golf, at the ready for the next call that day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Barking and filled petrol in a diesel Toyota rental. She was very agitated it seemed, crying "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to arrive at her right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and not so worried. A job in Wandsworth done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise:

Here are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Wandsworth we have found an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Wandsworth to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

A gentleman rang us from his residence on a street in Barking. He said, "My vehicle (a Honda) is not starting and is generating terrible sounds when I flip the ignition."

We showed up quickly, performed the drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He said that he'd be sure to educate people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
