It was about 5 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were seated talking over the recent footy rankings, at the ready for the sixth call to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in West Ham and filled petrol in a diesel Porsche rental. The poor thing was somewhat affected it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably do happen.

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

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Greater London we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And obviously never turn over the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water inside your fuel can certainly cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations fairly easily.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel container lying at the back of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business properties in Greater London to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in West Ham (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a comprehensive Greater London Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to refill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the typical problems that can accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe dead batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.
