It was around five pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were seated discussing the football results, waiting around for the next call for the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Becontree Heath and filled petrol in her diesel Volkswagen hire car. The poor thing was very distressed apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, as it was just a few minutes away from us, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and less concerned. Another job in Barking and Dagenham well done in my books!

This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Barking and Dagenham we are identifying an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people not being aware of the way to work with it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly never switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank will lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations quite simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be wholly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container at the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial properties in Barking and Dagenham for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Becontree Heath (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Barking and Dagenham Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your car or truck. They will handle any of the usual problems that can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
