It was just after six pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were seated there discussing the sports results, prepared for the 6th call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Eltham and put petrol in her diesel Chevrolet rental car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty irritated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to get the car into a secure space and, since it was only a short distance from us, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and not so concerned. Another job in Greenwich done well in my mind!

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and I was en route to help an older sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Nissan in Eltham. She told us that she had left the filling station and stranded in a backwater lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and got there within 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only just got it a short while ago when my old car, which I had for over twenty five years, finally died". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a precious Greenwich woman!

AdBlue In your Fuel
In Greenwich we are encountering increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of motorists not knowing how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the car.
Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? As the product is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.
Phone us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Fuel contaminated with water
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations rather expediently.
Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Recent Fuel Drains in Eltham
Usual fuel drain stories in Eltham:
Now I'm certainly not that keen on doing work Sundays, and the other day was no different. I had only just come away from the family following a lovely Sunday roast cooked by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a fellow after he filled the wrong petrol in his Fiat. He was stationed in Eltham and so it wasn't long before I got to him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my mind on other stuff and did not perceive I've put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I inflicted any harm by starting it?" I determined there shouldn't be any kind of harm and that I would get the contaminated fuel drained right away for him. Obviously I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and one more content client could continue their trip without the need for difficulty. The man could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is what can make operating on weekends in Greenwich that little better for me personally!

It truly was what we call the graveyard shift. It was about 3 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had been pretty uneventful thus far, and me and Paul were sitting around reading through a few old articles. It was an unusual calm time in Greenwich. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that the instant my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end said: "I ended my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in the diesel Porsche in error". I told him to tell us where the car was situated and we hit the road, getting to him in Eltham no more than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he thanked us profusely for coming out so promptly. While we were returning to the office we found two young ladies on the side of the road who seemed like they had a puncture. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, to their elation.
