It was about 9 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were sitting there going over the tennis results, waiting around for the next call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in St Pancras and filled petrol in her diesel Citroen hire car by mistake. She was rather affected apparently, saying "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the car to a protected spot and, as it was only a short distance from the office, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could go home to the motel she was living in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Camden done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Camden we have discovered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not knowing how to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at once. And of course never start up the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your diesel or petrol is going to produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank laying at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and industrial properties in Camden to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in St Pancras (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a full Camden Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to fill up your vehicle any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to handle the common troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal St Pancras - St Pancras Wrong Fuel Doctor

A man called us from his place on a street in St Pancras. He pronounced, "My car (a Lexus) is not starting and is creating dreadful sounds when I flip the ignition." He said that he put petrol in his diesel vehicle but then thought he would resolve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We arrived promptly, did the fuel drain and filled it up once more with untainted Diesel. He told us that he'd be sure to tell people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
