It was about 7 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and I were resting there discussing the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Downham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Ford hire car. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, because it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Lewisham done well in my books!

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

AdBlue Contamination

What to do in the event that you have poured Adblue into a Diesel fuel tank? AdBlue is a liquid that is made of a blend of urea (32.5%) and deionized water.Adblue is definitely disastrous to your car's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with Adblue in the tank. The moment the engine has been started the Adblue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will swiftly begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

Phone us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water inside your petrol or diesel can lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Lewisham to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can empty it for you.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Downham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a comprehensive Lewisham Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up the car. They will be able to fix the common troubles that can go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Vehicle Misfuel Downham - Downham Fuel Rescue

A gentleman had stopped off a street in Downham. His Toyota engine had stopped working and he had no clue what was faulty until eventually he noticed he had put unleaded in his diesel car. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can not believe that I didn't realise that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got virtually no sleep the day before and that could have been the reason why.
