Unleaded in diesel in David Street needn't be a massive crisis. We're just a telephone call away.

It was close to eight pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were seated there talking about the sports rankings, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in David Street and filled petrol in her diesel Volkswagen hire car in error. The poor lady was pretty irritated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and not so worried. Yet another job in Newham done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Newham we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent a result of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And certainly never turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. In case you have started the car you will in all probability have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the diesel or petrol will often trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying in the back of your premises with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and industrial properties in Newham for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run out of fuel in David Street (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Newham Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home.

Vehicle Misfuel David Street - David Street Wrong Fuel Doctor

A motorist had broken down just near a street in David Street. His MG motor had ceased running and he'd no clue what was the problem until eventually he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten very little rest the night before and that must have been why.
