It was just after 10 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the recent football rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Woodford Wells and filled petrol in her diesel Audi lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, because it was only a short distance away from us, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Another job in Redbridge done well in my opinion!

We are willing to take the wrong fuel job.

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Redbridge we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not knowing the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And absolutely do not start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines. Having water in the fuel tank will likely produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations pretty easily.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or polluted fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

We've been called out to several private and business properties in Redbridge to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a shed, if we can reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.
