Wrong Fuel in Car Plashet, Southwark

Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Plashet

Our company is SPA licensed, and provides national coverage for any person who has mistakenly tanked up with the incorrect fuel.

It was just after six pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and me were relaxing there discussing the recent footy, at the ready for the seventh call that day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Plashet and filled petrol in her diesel Jaguar rental. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Southwark done well in my books!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue Contamination

In Southwark we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And absolutely don't crank the engine - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations very easily.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Southwark for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Run out of fuel in Plashet (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Southwark Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to refill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car. They will deal with any of the common problems which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
