It was close to 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the 8th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Luddesdown and put petrol in her diesel Mitsubishi rental car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Waltham Forest well done in my opinion!

Here's a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Waltham Forest we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Whenever you end up in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK?s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines. Having water in diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations pretty easily.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be wholly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}
