It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting talking over the weekend's rugby, waiting for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Bermondsey and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Citroen hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite affected it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could get to her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Southwark well done in my books!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Southwark we have noticed an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Putting water in petrol or diesel will often cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly simply.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be wholly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or dirty fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Have a fuel tank lying at the back of your garden containing aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Southwark to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely. Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we are able to drain it.

Re-Fueling Service

Out of fuel in Bermondsey (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Southwark Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to fill up the car. They can also handle any of the usual issues which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Fuel Rescue Bermondsey - Bermondsey Wrong Fuel Assist

A guy had conked out near a road in Bermondsey. His Ford car had stopped running and he had no clue what was wrong until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I had put the wrong fuel in my car." He stated that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that could have been why.
