It was close to five pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the next job to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Farringdon and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Mazda lease car. She was quite troubled apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe area and, since it was just a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could go home to the motel she was living in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Islington well done in my opinion!

Below are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Islington we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the car.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely do not start the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. Assuming you have started the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank placed in the back of your premises with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Islington to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Farringdon (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Islington Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill up your car or truck. They can also deal with the most common troubles that may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
