Local Call-Out and Roadside Wrong Fuel Repair in Havering-atte-Bower

If you've unfortunately put the completely wrong fuel in your car and now need the wrong fuel removed you are probably searching the web hoping for a swift, reliable, skilled and reasonably priced fuel drain company in Havering-atte-Bower or Havering. We are the service to suit your needs!

It was after 5 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and me were resting there discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Havering-atte-Bower and filled petrol in a diesel BMW hire car by mistake. She was quite affected apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could go home to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and less worried. Another job in Havering done well in my mind!

Our Areas of Competence :

Do you or your drivers usually misfuel your car? We can solve any related issues.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Havering we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it asap. And obviously be careful not to turn over the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you would very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in your petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases fairly simply.

You should know however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got an old fuel tank lying at the back of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several domestic and business properties in Havering for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Run out of fuel in Havering-atte-Bower (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Havering Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) to fill up your automobile. They can also take care of the common troubles that may go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.
