It was about six pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated there going over the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in West Ham and put petrol in her diesel Vauxhall rental by mistake. The poor thing was pretty irritated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to move the car to a protected spot and, as it was only a few minutes from us, we could reach her without delay.

We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Greater London we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from people not being aware of the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And definitely do not turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In case you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to address in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will likely lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases pretty quickly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.}

We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Greater London to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a storage shed, if we can reach it, we are able to drain it for you.
