It was just after 6 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were sitting going over the recent tennis results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in North Cray and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel SEAT lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was just a few miles from us, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. One more job in Bexley done well in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Bexley we are encountering progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

In the case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And of course don't start the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations quite simply.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be wholly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.}

Removal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank at the back of your garden containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Bexley to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, if we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in North Cray (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Bexley Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to refill your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) and fill your vehicle.

Fuel Rescue North Cray - North Cray Wrong Fuel Assist

A customer had broken down near a road in North Cray. His Land Rover engine had stopped functioning and he had no idea what was the problem until he noticed he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he informed us: "I can't believe that I did not know that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got absolutely no rest the night before and that could have been precisely why.
