It was about ten pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were sitting there talking about the footy results, waiting for the 8th job that day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Moorgate and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Renault lease car in error. The poor lady was fairly irritated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to find the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and less stressed. Yet another job in Lambeth done well in my opinion!

Below are our top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Lambeth we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not being aware of how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And obviously be careful not to switch on the car - not even to move it into a parking area. In the event that you did start the car you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases fairly expediently.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your premises full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in Lambeth to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Moorgate (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Lambeth Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your automobile in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up your car or truck. They will deal with any of the normal troubles that could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Moorgate - Moorgate Fuel Rescue

A man phoned us from Moorgate saying he had piped unleaded in to his diesel Peugeot. "What a pain! I can't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car!" It took the engineer around 50 minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel out of the car. He carefully cleaned the fuel system and then put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was completely satisfied and it didn't cost him car dealership prices to have the work professionally performed.
