Wrong Fuel in Car London - London Fuel Rescue

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Tuesday and we were on the way to help an elder lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Fiat in London. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a backwater lane on route to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I'd only just bought it a short while back because my former car, which I used for about twenty five years, inevitably died". I got the drain done and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Lewisham lady!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lewisham we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is likely to bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know though that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of the garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Lewisham to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Fuel Rescue London - London Vehicle Misfuel

A man phoned us from London to state that he had mistakenly pumped the wrong fuel in to his diesel Volvo. "Unbelievable! How could I put petrol in my lovely diesel car!"

Recent Fuel Drains in London

A number of the more routine things we get from many of our engineers in London:

We recently had a phone call about a man who had put the wrong fuel in his Volvo in London. He had broken down on the road. "I was surprised at how speedy you people were in getting someone out to help me when I unleaded in my diesel car. I'm very grateful". As you can imagine we were on-scene rapidly and flushed the engine after draining all the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. On arrival the engineer said the driver was scowling, but was happy afterwards.

Vehicle Misfuel London - London Wrong Fuel in Car

A woman working in London called us as soon as she had tried to get her wrong fuelled vehicle to the office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel Renault and, like countless prior to her, believed that she could just fill up the car with diesel and it'd run no problem. The car was coughing and then it died when she came to the entrance of her office. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved within 60 minutes while she was in the office. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm very delighted you fixed my car."

Wrong Fuel in Car London - London Petrol in Diesel

A man had conked out off a road in London. His Land Rover engine had stopped operating and he had no idea what was awry right up until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He claimed that he had got very little sleep the day before and that could have been the key reason why.
