It was close to 5 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were resting there commenting on the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to come in. In due time we had a call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Walthamstow and filled petrol in a diesel Skoda hire car in error. The poor thing was rather agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that such things happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Waltham Forest well done in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

In Waltham Forest we are finding a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly due to people not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

Any time you discover youself to be in this predicament don?t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances very easily.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying in the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Waltham Forest for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Walthamstow (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a complete Waltham Forest Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your automobile if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill your car or truck. They will take care of any of the common issues that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Walthamstow - Walthamstow Fuel Rescue

I enjoyed a great afternoon golfing during my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the following day as I set off to help a young couple vacationing in Walthamstow. They had broken down after inserting petrol into their Dacia, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the woman telling her hubby off for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this happens quite frequently in Waltham Forest and that it is nothing to get worried about, but he yet still had an ear bashing. Poor chap. At any rate, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some right fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted bon voyage and wondered what my missus would say to me if ever I made the very same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
