It was before ten pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting there discussing the football results, ready for the next call that day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Ilford and put petrol in her diesel Smart rental car by mistake. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and much less worried. Yet another job in Redbridge done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Redbridge we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely do not start the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps polluted fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank sitting at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in Redbridge to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even a few drums in a shed, if we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Ilford (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a full Redbridge Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to refill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your automobile. They are also able to handle the standard issues that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even dead batteries caused by over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ilford - Ilford Petrol in Diesel

A motorist had broken down just near a street in Ilford. His Kia car had ceased operating and he had no clue what was faulty till he realised he had put petrol in his diesel car. He contacted us to get a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I didn't realise that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten virtually no sleep the night before and that could have been precisely why.
