It was just after 8 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and I were relaxing talking about the recent golf results, waiting for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Clapham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Skoda lease car by mistake. She was quite agitated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to get to her without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and less worried. A fuel drain in Lambeth done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Here is a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lambeth we have found a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will often contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've succesfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Lambeth for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

We can come to refill your vehicle in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home.
