It was after 8 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting discussing the recent sports rankings, prepared for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in New Cross and filled petrol in a diesel Kia rental in error. The poor thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, because it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to find the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and less worried. One more misfuel correction in Lewisham well done in my mind!

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:
AdBlue In your Fuel
All over Lewisham we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to one another on the vehicle.
Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters.
In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And of course never switch on the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases rather quickly.
Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}
Waste Fuel Disposal
Got an old fuel tank lying in the rear of your premises containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Lewisham for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to reach it, we are able to drain it.
