It was just before five pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting talking over the football, ready for the 8th call of the day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Peckham and filled petrol in her diesel Skoda rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was very troubled apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected position and, because it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to get to the woman right away.

Wrong Fuel Assist Peckham - Peckham Wrong Fuel Doctor

I had appreciated a perfect evening hiking during my holiday and felt satisfied the following morning as I was en route to assist a new family holidaying in Peckham. They stopped after adding diesel in their Volvo, and the car was around half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the lady chastising her man for being so silly. "Just how could you even be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this occurs quite frequently in Southwark and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, but he in spite of everything got an earful. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Our Areas of Experience :

Do you or your employees frequently misfuel your vehicle? We can resolve any associated issues.

AdBlue Contamination

In Southwark we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not knowing the way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely don't crank the vehicle - not even to move it from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Water in fuel is going to produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the back of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Southwark for the purpose of draining 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. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Run out of fuel in Peckham (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Southwark Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) and fill up your automobile. They can also deal with any of the normal troubles which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car Peckham - Peckham Wrong Fuel Drain

This was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly dawn and noone was stirring. It was fairly dead up to now, and me and Brian were relaxing reading through a number of old magazines. This was an unusual restful hour in Southwark. It was indeed so peaceful that when my mobile ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the other end told me: "I just concluded my evening shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in the diesel Peugeot by mistake". We got him to inform us where the car was and we headed out, getting to him in Peckham no more than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the engine. He thanked us for getting there so rapidly. As we were going back to the office we noticed two women on the side of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.
