It was after 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting there discussing the footy, waiting for the 6th telephone call to come in. Eventually we got a call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Becontree Heath and put petrol in a diesel Chevrolet rental car in error. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably can happen.

Our Areas of Expertise :

These are the fuel mistakes services we can extend to you:

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Barking and Dagenham we have seen a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not understanding how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it right away. And certainly be careful not to start up the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol may trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir at the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and business properties in Barking and Dagenham to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely. Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Becontree Heath (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Barking and Dagenham Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.
