It was after five pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were resting commenting on the recent football, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Blackheath Park and put petrol in her diesel Mercedes rental car in error. The poor lady was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could get to the lady almost instantly.

Services We Provide:

Below are the top services we deliver to our customers.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Greenwich we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And of course don't start the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Putting water in fuel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases very easily.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Wrong Fuel in Car Blackheath Park - Blackheath Park Fuel Removal

I enjoyed a terrific evening hiking during my afternoon off and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a young couple away in Blackheath Park. They had stopped after putting diesel into their Mitsubishi, and they were approximately half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the gal chastising her man for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing occurs on daily basis in Greenwich and that it's nothing at all to stress about, even so he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I made the exact same blunder... I would never ever live it down!
