It was close to 6 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there going over the weekend's footy results, waiting for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Chigwell and put petrol in a diesel MG lease car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was only a few miles from us, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. One more job in Lambeth done well in my opinion!

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Lambeth we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly do not start the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to address in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases pretty easily.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your garden containing old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Lambeth to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Chigwell (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Lambeth Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the common issues which can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Chigwell - Chigwell Wrong Fuel Drain

Last week a youngster phoned us when his MG broke down in the middle of a street in Chigwell. He had by accident put petrol in the diesel vehicle and got so far as the street before being forced to halt. It was yet in the early hours of the day and our technical engineer, who resides locally, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We were able to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again into the car. "Many thanks to you for your prompt response, and in particular at 4 a.m., I am grateful for it."
