It was after eight pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were resting talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Gower Street and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai rental car in error. The poor lady was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from the office, we could find the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the motel she was residing in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and not so apprehensive.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Camden we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of motorists being unsure of how to use it (take note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters.

In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most definitely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to take care of in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations rather swiftly.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.}

Waste Fuel Management

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Camden to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, providing we can access it, we can empty it.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Gower Street (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We operate a complete Camden Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill the car. They are also able to fix the most common problems that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.
