It was just before 9 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent tennis, prepared for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Woodford Green and put petrol in a diesel Skoda lease car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, as it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to find the lady quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Redbridge done well in my opinion!

Our Services:

Here are the top services we give to our customers.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Redbridge we have found progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily handle all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel will trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases fairly quickly.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel container lying at the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Redbridge for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel Assist Woodford Green - Woodford Green Vehicle Misfuel

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon cycling on the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next working day as I set out to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Woodford Green. They broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their Renault, and they were close to an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and laughed as I listened to the girl berating her hubby for being so silly. "Just how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on on a regular basis in Redbridge and that it's really absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he yet still had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyways, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed farewell and wondered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I would never ever live it down!
