Wrong Fuel East Dulwich - East Dulwich Fuel Drain

A somewhat concerned driver phoned us from the Texaco filling station at Southwark to inform us that he put unleaded in his diesel Suzuki; he wasn't really quite sure how he'd done it. We said to him it was no problem and rapidly had our fuel drainer out to him to drain the incorrect fuel from his vehicle. Having taken away the incorrect fuel, he was subsequently back rolling again. He told us; "I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the guy who arrived to carry out the fuel drain was genuinely nice - he didn't make me seem like a plonker."

Our Areas of Competence :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Southwark we are discovering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't start the car - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations pretty simply.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we can access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial premises in Southwark to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in East Dulwich (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Southwark Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your automobile. They can also deal with the normal issues that might go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

A motorist had stopped near a street in East Dulwich. His BMW car had ceased operating and he had no clue what was the problem right up until he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten very little rest the evening before and that must have been the key reason why.
