It was just after 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were seated there discussing the recent tennis rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Calthorpe and filled petrol in a diesel Peugeot rental car by mistake. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure area and, because it was just a short distance away from our van, we could arrive at the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the hotel she was living in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and much less worried.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lewisham we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly take care not to crank the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol may result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have succesfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank placed in the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in Lewisham to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Calthorpe (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a full Lewisham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your vehicle if you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your car or truck. They will be able to deal with the standard troubles that could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even dead batteries due to over-cranking.
