It was around five pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there talking over the football, waiting for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Tottenham Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Vauxhall rental car in error. She was rather agitated apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car into a protected area and, because it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to find the customer quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Haringey done well in my opinion!

Our Areas of Expertise :

This is what exactly we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Haringey we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Because the product is mainly ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely do not turn over the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank is going to cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances rather easily.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be wholly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we can access the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Got a fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Haringey for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.
