It was just after eight pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were seated discussing the recent sports rankings, waiting for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Woodford Wells and filled petrol in a diesel Porsche hire car in error. The poor thing was rather affected it seemed, saying "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, since it was just a short distance off from our van, we could get to the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Redbridge well done in my opinion!

Our Services:

Here are the top services we give to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Redbridge we have discovered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. If you did start the car you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations rather expediently.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container laying at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in Redbridge for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Woodford Wells (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Redbridge Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your automobile. They are also able to handle any of the normal troubles that can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.
