It was before 5 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and me were seated commenting on the golf rankings, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Havering-atte-Bower and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Hyundai lease car. The poor thing was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to move the car into a secure area and, since it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to find the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could go home to the motel she was living at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. A job in Havering well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue Contamination

All around Havering we have noticed a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And absolutely never turn over the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations rather quickly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container laying in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Havering to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a garage, providing we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Havering-atte-Bower (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Havering Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to handle the standard problems which can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe dead batteries caused by over-cranking.
