It was around 9 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing talking over the recent rugby rankings, prepared for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Upminster and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Volkswagen rental car in error. The poor lady was quite affected by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to move the car to a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we could reach the lady without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Havering well done in my mind!

Our Services:

These are the fuel problems services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you should do in case you may have put Adblue into your Diesel tank? Adblue is actually disastrous to your vehicle's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with Adblue in the tank. As soon as the engine has been started the Adblue will undoubtedly be squirted into your fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, leading to serious and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely take care not to turn over the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations fairly expediently.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel.
