It was close to 10 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were seated discussing the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Upminster and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Chevrolet rental car by mistake. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Havering done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Helping you get back on the road is our main goal.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Havering we have noticed a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people being unsure of how to use it (pay attention: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol may well trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances quite expediently.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank laying at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Havering for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Assistance

Out of fuel in Upminster (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Havering Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and refill the car. They will take care of the normal troubles that can go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Upminster - Upminster Wrong Fuel in Car

A gentleman contacted us from his house on a close in Upminster. He exclaimed, "My vehicle (a Vauxhall) is not starting and is making awful noises when I turn the ignition." He said that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then thought he would solve the issue by putting additional Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, performed the fuel drain and filled him up once again with clean Diesel. He said that he'd be sure to advise people not to fill up in addition to the wrong fuel but to have it cleaned out right away.
