It was close to six pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Dan and me were sitting there discussing the recent tennis rankings, waiting for the seventh call that day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Harold Wood and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Jaguar rental car. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things can happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure space and, since it was only a short distance away from the office, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Havering done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Havering we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water inside your diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations fairly expediently.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got an old fuel tank laying in the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and commercial properties in Havering to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Harold Wood (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Havering Run Out of Fuel Service. We will come to fill up the car any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump price) and fill up the car. They are also able to fix any of the common problems which might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, or even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Harold Wood - Harold Wood Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman contacted us from his place on a close in Harold Wood. He said, "My car (a Mercedes) is not running and is generating terrible noises when I turn the key." He confessed that he had put unleaded in his diesel car but then believed he would fix the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the fuel drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel. He told us after that he would be certain to advise people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
