It was about 10 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Clapham and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected space and, as it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Lambeth done well in my opinion!

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lambeth we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely take care not to switch on the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in the petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances very expediently.

Take note however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container in the back of your garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in Lambeth to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Run out of fuel in Clapham (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a complete Lambeth Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your car. They can also deal with the standard issues that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Clapham - Clapham Fuel Removal

A motorist had broken down near a street in Clapham. His Toyota motor had stopped working and he had no idea what was awry until he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and it was then when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't comprehend that I had put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had gotten virtually no sleep the night before and that could have been the reason.
