It was about 7 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated there talking over the weekend's golf, waiting for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Elm Park and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel MG rental in error. The poor thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was living at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Havering well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Experience :

Listed below are our top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Havering we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by motorists not being aware of how to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

Contact us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your petrol or diesel can contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases fairly swiftly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden with out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Havering to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able 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 containers in a garage, as long as we can access it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Elm Park (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Havering Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) and fill your car. They will deal with any of the usual troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Drain Elm Park - Elm Park Vehicle Misfuel

I'd had a perfect day fishing during my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I was on the way to assist a new couple who were holidaying in Elm Park. They conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their Dacia, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smirked as I heard to the gal telling her husband off for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this happens frequently in Havering and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, however he all the same had an earful. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted goodbye and pondered on what my missus would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
