It was just after 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there discussing the rugby rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Before long we got the call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Shoreditch and filled petrol in her diesel Mazda rental by mistake. She was fairly distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we could reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Lambeth done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lambeth we are encountering an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Any time you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the technical skills and working experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel may well bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Lambeth to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Out of fuel in Shoreditch (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Lambeth Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your automobile if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home.

Wrong Fuel Assist Shoreditch - Shoreditch Fuel Rescue

I'd had a wonderful evening hiking on my holiday and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a young family who were away in Shoreditch. They had pulled over after inserting diesel in their Kia, and they were roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the wife telling off her husband for being so daft. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Lambeth and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he all the same had his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyway, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove off I mouthed goodbye and considered what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the same mistake... I'd never live it down!
