It was around 5 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Southfleet and filled petrol in her diesel BMW lease car in error. The poor lady was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and less apprehensive. A job in Tower Hamlets well done in my books!

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Tower Hamlets we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Assuming you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel may lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container laying at the rear of your garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Tower Hamlets to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Southfleet (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Tower Hamlets Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They are also able to handle any of the typical issues that might go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even dead batteries because of over-cranking.
