It was just after seven pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were resting talking about the recent tennis results, prepared for the next telephone call that day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Herne Hill and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT rental car in error. She was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was no more than a short distance from us, we could find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Lambeth well done in my opinion!

Our Areas of Competency :

Here are the top services we provide to our clients.

AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lambeth we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by people not understanding how to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely do not start the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel tank will often result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container sitting at the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Lambeth to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Herne Hill (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a complete Lambeth Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) to fill up your car. They are also able to fix any of the normal problems that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as dead batteries resulting from over-cranking.
