It was just before seven pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and me were seated there discussing the football, prepared for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Fair Cross and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Mercedes rental by mistake. The poor lady was very irritated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things do happen. She was able to move the car into a protected area and, because it was only a short distance away from where we were, we could reach her quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and much less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Barking and Dagenham well done in my mind!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do in the event that you have put Adblue into a Diesel tank? Adblue is actually devastating to your automobile's fuel system, particularly any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the diesel tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, causing devastating and expensive damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank will cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations rather simply.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Wrong Fuel Drain Fair Cross - Fair Cross Wrong Fuel

I had enjoyed a terrific afternoon hiking on the weekend and was feeling delighted the next working day as I was on the way to assist a new family who were holidaying in Fair Cross. They'd conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their BMW, and the car was approximately an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled while I listened to the girl berating her hubby for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this problem goes on on daily basis in Barking and Dagenham and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, however he still got an earful by his better half. I felt sorry for the boy. In any case, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved farewell and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the same error... I would personally never ever live it down!
