Fuel Drain Rotherhithe - Rotherhithe Fuel Rescue

Below are the top services we offer to our customers.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Southwark we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people being unsure of how to work with it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously don't turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Having water inside your fuel tank will likely contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances rather easily.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel container lying in the back of your premises full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Southwark to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Rotherhithe (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Southwark Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) to refill the car. They will take care of the most common troubles which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even dead batteries as a result of over-cranking.


Fuel Removal Rotherhithe - Rotherhithe Fuel Drain

A person called us from Rotherhithe saying he had pumped the wrong fuel in to his diesel Kia. "What a pain! How could I put petrol in my nice diesel car!" It took our specialist around 50 minutes to fully drain the incorrect fuel out of the car. He completely cleaned the fuel lines, filter and pumps and then put fresh fuel in the car. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him dealer prices to have the job properly done.


Recent Fuel Drains in Rotherhithe

Standard wrong fuel drain articles in Rotherhithe:

Now I am not ever too excited about carrying out work weekends, and a while back was the same. I'd only just left the wife and kids filled with a wonderful dinner prepared for us by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a man who had filled the wrong fuel in his Audi. He was located in Rotherhithe hence I was on scene quickly. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank God! I had my attention on other stuff and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about any harm because of driving it?" I determined that there shouldn't be damage and that also I would personally get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with the suitable fuel, and then another pleased customer was able to carry on with their travelling without the need for bother. The gentleman couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Southwark that tiny bit easier for me!

Wrong Fuel Rotherhithe - Rotherhithe Wrong Fuel Drain

This really was the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2:30am and nobody was stirring. It was fairly uneventful thus far, and Ryan and I were sitting around looking through several old papers. It was a rare tranquil moment in Southwark. It was indeed that peaceful that the instant my mobile finally rang I jumped! The voice explained: "I ended my night shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a diesel Smart". I told him to let us know exactly where he was located and we set off, reaching him in Rotherhithe under an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He thanked us profusely for coming out so rapidly. As we were going back home we noticed two young women on the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped to help them change it, to their elation.

Vehicle Misfuel Rotherhithe - Rotherhithe Wrong Fuel Drain

A man rang us from his home on a street in Rotherhithe. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a Smart) is not starting up and is generating very bad noises when I flip the ignition." He confessed that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car but then imagined he would fix the problem by putting extra Diesel on top. We got there promptly, carried out the drain and filled him up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us that he would be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up on top of the incorrect fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.
