It was just after ten pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing there going over the recent football rankings, at the ready for the 8th job for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Southfleet and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental car by mistake. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to get to the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Tower Hamlets done well in my books!

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Tower Hamlets we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not knowing how to use it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And of course be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. If you have started the car you would probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've succesfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Tower Hamlets to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Southfleet (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Tower Hamlets Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your vehicle if you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car. They will take care of the standard issues that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Southfleet - Southfleet Fuel Rescue

Last week a motorist contacted us just after his Dacia broke down in the middle of a road in Southfleet. He had by accident put the incorrect fuel in the diesel vehicle and managed to get to the street before having to pull up. It was early in the day and our engineer, who stays nearby, got to him in approximately 20 minutes. We were able to take out the wrong fuel and put fresh diesel back in to the car. "Thank you for your fast response, especially at 4 a.m., I really am grateful for it."
