It was close to ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting there commenting on the recent golf results, waiting around for the next call to come in. Finally we got a call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Greenwich and filled petrol in a diesel Jaguar rental in error. She was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to find the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and much less worried. A fuel drain in Greenwich well done in my mind!

Listed here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Greenwich we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not being aware of how to use it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Give us a call in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water in your diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business premises in Greenwich to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Greenwich (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Greenwich Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to take care of the common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Greenwich - Greenwich Wrong Fuel Drain

A man contacted us from his home on a road in Greenwich. He said, "My car (a Lexus) is not starting and is generating terrible sounds when I flip the key." He said that he had put unleaded in his diesel vehicle however thought he would remedy the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up once more with fresh Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to explain to people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out right away.
