It was about 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were resting there talking over the tennis, at the ready for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Erith and filled petrol in a diesel Volkswagen rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this often happen. She was able to get the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was only a short distance from the office, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and much less concerned. One more misfuel correction in City of London well done in my mind!

Fuel Rescue Erith - Erith Petrol in Diesel
Just had a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Wednesday and I was on the way to assist an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel Citroen in Erith. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was broken down along a country lane along the way to visit her family. I punched the location straight into the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour. I got to the car and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I had only just got it a couple of days back when my other car, which I used for more than twenty five years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she presented me a toffee and said thank you. What a lovely City of London woman!

Do you or your employees usually misfuel your vehicle? We can solve any associated issues.
AdBlue In Diesel
All around City of London we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the vehicle.
So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.
If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the car you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank may well cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations quite simply.
Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
Marine Fuel Drains
If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have succesfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Recent Fuel Drains in Erith
Very common incorrect fuel drain testimonies in Erith:
We fairly recently received a phone call about a man who put the wrong fuel in his Vauxhall in Erith. He had broken down on the road. "I couldn't believe how quick you people were in having an engineer out to help me after I foolishly unleaded in my diesel car. Thank you". As you can imagine we were on-scene punctually and purged the engine after flushing all of the petrol from the diesel tank. The customer was delighted by the time we finished and he drove off cheerful.
Fuel Removal Erith - Erith Wrong Fuel in Car
A young lady from Erith with her children in her diesel MINI had put £45 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She called us sobbing and extremely worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be back ready to go in no time at all. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the youngsters in the back."
