It was just after seven pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and me were sitting discussing the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Bellingham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Nissan lease car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a few miles from us, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in Lewisham done well in my books!

Our Areas of Competency :

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

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Lewisham we are identifying increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by people not understanding the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In case you end up in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can easily cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases pretty quickly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank placed at the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Lewisham for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a garage, assuming that we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Bellingham (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Lewisham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your car. They are also able to deal with any of the normal problems which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Petrol in Diesel Bellingham - Bellingham Fuel Removal

A man had conked out near a road in Bellingham. His SEAT engine had ceased working and he'd no clue what was wrong until he noticed he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that is when he informed us: "I cannot believe that I didn't detect that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He stated that he had got no sleep the night before and that could have been the key reason why.
