It was after 9 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were sitting there discussing the recent football results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Monument and put petrol in a diesel Jaguar rental. She was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could find the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and a lot less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Lewisham done well in my opinion!

Here are the top services we offer to our clients.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Lewisham we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to drivers not knowing the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol will likely cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases very easily.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Have an old fuel container at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Lewisham to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Monument (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Lewisham Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the most common problems which could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Monument - Monument Fuel Rescue

A man called us from Monument to say he had piped unleaded in his diesel Mazda. "What a nightmare! How could I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car!" It only took our fuel drainer roughly 50 minutes to fully drain the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. He carefully cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put clean diesel in the vehicle. The customer was thrilled and it hadn't cost him dealer prices to have the work properly completed.
