It was around 8 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the seventh call of the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Catford and filled petrol in a diesel Suzuki rental in error. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things sadly happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected spot and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to get to the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. One more job in Lewisham done well in my mind!

We can assist you with these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lewisham we have seen a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not understanding how to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will likely produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations pretty simply.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Lewisham to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, providing we can reach it, we can certainly drain it.

We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home.
