It was just before 10 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were resting there talking over the recent golf results, waiting for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Covent Garden and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Kia lease car. The poor lady was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Westminster done well in my mind!

Provided Services:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we offer.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Westminster we have noticed more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not knowing how to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never switch on the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in your diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations quite easily.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and industrial premises in Westminster to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Covent Garden (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Westminster Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your car or truck. They can also deal with the usual problems that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Covent Garden - Covent Garden Wrong Fuel Assist

I'd had a terrific evening cycling on the weekend and felt contented the next working day as I headed out to aid a young couple on holiday in Covent Garden. They pulled over after filling petrol in their Smart, and they were around half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled while I listened to the wife telling off her husband for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing occurs constantly in Westminster and that it's truly nothing to be anxious about, even so he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. At any rate, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I waved bon voyage and wondered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I'd never hear the end of it!
