It was after 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were sitting there going over the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the next telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Honor Oak and filled petrol in a diesel Jaguar rental car. She was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could find the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Lewisham well done in my mind!

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

AdBlue Contamination

In Lewisham we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not understanding how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may probably need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can potentially trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Lewisham for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Honor Oak (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a comprehensive Lewisham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will handle the normal problems which could accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Honor Oak - Honor Oak Petrol in Diesel
